麒麟潭，原名大水窟（或寫做大水崛）、蓮花池，位於台灣南投縣鹿谷鄉永隆村的一座面積十三公頃、三面環山的人工湖泊。同治年間，邱、董二姓泉州人利用凍頂山和麒麟山之勢，築壩蓄水供農田灌溉。1974年，時任行政院長的蔣經國下鄉訪視，將該潭改名為「麒麟潭」
鹿谷麒麟藏美景，經國先生最愛
麒麟潭原名為大水窟，位於凍頂和麒麟兩座山之間，為一處人工湖泊，因蔣故總統經國先生在民國63年時，曾下訪探視此地，覺得此地環境優美，狀似麒麟，因此而取名”麒麟潭”，也是經國先生生前很喜歡來的放鬆地方，麒麟潭旁的一座小廟，還有經國先生來麒麟潭聊天、翹腳的老照片喔!
細說麒麟潭歷史
大約一百餘年前永隆居民利用三面環山之地勢，築堤蓄水，成為面積13公頃的水埤，潭水為泉水，水量很豐沛，終年不會枯竭。原本是廣興、鹿谷農田灌溉水源，因近年來鄉民生活水準提高，生活方式起了極大的改變，又因潭水景色幽美，逐漸成為旅遊觀光景點。
麒麟潭的四周為丘陵地，除了一些住家之外，就是壯闊的茶田伴隨其中，設有環湖步道，來這裡可以很愜意的欣賞麒麟潭的迷人景致，而且白天、晚上的感覺非常不一樣，白天的麒麟潭就像世外桃源般的美麗，湖面呈現綠油油的丘陵倒影，也有藍天白雲倒印其中，湖面的水清澈透亮，彷彿自己就好像走在畫裡面般如此的不真實，令人流連忘返。
晚上的麒麟潭就好像神秘的女子般，夢幻卻又不失高雅，月亮、星星伴隨著湖面，不似白天的活潑，晚上有著優美而寧靜的美感，喜歡露營的朋友可以來麒麟潭露營，絕對會讓您愛上這裡。
清晨與晚上的麒麟潭總會飄著一層薄霧，虛無飄渺的感覺讓人感受到麒麟潭的迷人風味，往麒麟山上走，可以俯瞰整個麒麟潭風景，雖然面積不大，但景緻卻是不輸一些知名的景點，可說是南投鹿谷的秘密花園，雖然是觀光景點，但鮮少人會特別繞過來麒麟潭這邊，所以這裡沒有一般觀光景點的吵雜，反而有另一種觀賞美景的寧靜悠閒。
倪贊元《雲林縣採訪冊》：「大水窟：亦名蓮花池，池中多產蓮花。在崠頂山之麓、鳳凰山之前，距縣四十五里。池周廣二、三里，四面屏鬟列翠，泉源甚盛，紅白蓮花浮擎水面，青筩綠蓋，布滿池中。傳聞昔時曾開金墘白蓮，鮮妍異常，香韻尤絕。池中魚族甚繁，採蓮取魚，必駕竹筏。每當春、夏良辰，崠峰倒影，輒見鴛鴦浮游巖際。風過香聞數里，為縣東名勝。」

Graffity in France in Longwy / Rèhon
Artist: Grafodeco = Scaf Oner
Hinter Grafodeco steckt der französische Straßenkünstler Pierrot, auch bekannt als Scaf oder Scaf Oner. Er ist ein talentierter und kreativer Graffiti-Künstler, der sich auf beeindruckende 3D-Illusionen und interaktive Wandgemälde spezialisiert hat.
Diese gigantische Wand der Stadt Rehon ist mehr als 400 Meter lang und in der Fotografie nicht global zu sehen.
Pierre Bertolotti alias Scaf Er ist ein französischer Graffiti-Künstler. Er schafft auch gerne Klassiker (wie Skelette, Spinnen und Schlangen), um sein Repertoire zu diversifizieren. Er malt seine Tiere sehr oft in Anamorphose, um den Realismus seiner Babys zu steigern. Seine Werke sind ungewöhnlich, fantastisch und manchmal lustig. Die Form der Wände, die gewählten Winkel, die Perspektiven, die Schatten und die Reflexionen verwandeln den gesamten städtischen Raum in eine Bewegungseinstellung.
Es hat die Besonderheit, zwei verschiedene künstlerische Unterschriften zu haben: Grafodeco, wenn es um Auftragsarbeiten geht, und Scaf, wenn es um Straßenkunst geht.
Baldrian Desnoyers alias Valer ist ein Teil von Crew Mill. Er ist ein zeitgenössischer urbaner Künstler, der 1982 geboren wurde.
Dieses 450 m lange Fresko widmet sich der Geschichte der Stadt, einschließlich ihrer Stahlvergangenheit (Fotos Nov 2021).
Lage: Rue de Longwy, Rehon (Abteilung 54 - Meurthe et Moselle)
Fertigstellungstermin: August 2016
Realisierung: Scaf & Valer

My Canon Eos 7D hung around my neck throughout my visit but was scarcely used. I fired my pocket camera much more. At least here its lens barrel proved useful as a prop for a visual pun.
... in my garden. This one ended up on the road in front of my house. If it was quick enough to get to safety before a car came then it deserved to live. However, the road is a busy bus route :D
I've added a texture by skeletalmess as it's Tuesday - HTT!
It all started back in November, 2001, when the newly launched schooner SULTANA and the PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II, took a casual sail together on the Chester River the weekend before both vessels “downrigged” for the winter. The combination of a stiff breeze, the fall colors at their peak, and thousands of waterfowl flying overhead, made it a day few onboard either vessel would soon forget. “We’ll have to do this again next year,” remarked both Captains – and so Downrigging Weekend was born.
Now in its 16th year, Sultana’s Downrigging Weekend Tall Ship and Wooden Boat Festival has evolved into one of the largest annual Tall Ship gatherings on the East Coast.

My exhibition opens tomorrow, Im so happy, but already Im wanting something more, to show my work further afield, London, or another great city.
After these beach selfportraits, Ive half a mind to try a body of work entirely with the sea.
As luck would have it Im headed to the coast this weekend - to shoot a wedding, perhaps I can snatch a moment for myself too.
Early morning walk.
A little bit of Avalon....
Probably my favourite local walk at Pitstone Hill. No matter the weather or time of day, there’s always a real feel of history here. A bit of mist always helps too.
There are a few marks of modern man though....... ☹️
In this sculpture, a Group of Seven landscape subject takes on the contours of an aerodynamic race car. Wood, an ardent nature lover herself, was a pioneer of modernist form, experimenting bolding with modern industrial materials such as tin and electroplated bronze. After he sturdies at Ontario College of Art (now OCAD University), she went on to teach at Toronto’s Central technical School for many years. Wood received numerous commissions, becoming one of the most respected Canadian artists of her time.
I was sitting at my PC right inside the kitchen door, when they just wandered in like they own the place.
It's all good as long as they don't touch the pink curtains!
I've been wanting to build myself one of these for a couple of years. If you're at Brickworld Chicago this weekend come by the GamerLUG tables to see it in person.
The hooks do open, but they lock in place for safe operation. If they are open, the entire thing tends to explode. :)

Really big THANKS to EVERYONE!!!
You can't park or picnic in a nation park during a government shutdown, but ain't no problem with just hiking down into one, I tell you what.
Bit surreal, giant park with no end, not a soul around, no animals save a few brave lizards, just us and our cameras and our tattoos.
And some brackish water Melanie didn't at all mind jumping into.
Repeatedly.
No city noise, though. No cars, or helicopters overhead, no one doing construction. None of the sounds that make me all cuddly and safe.
City's in my blood.
But being enveloped by nature, that ain't so bad, for a few hours, anyway. Then it was back to the noise and steel and concrete.
You know, home.

The Schönefelder Kreuz is discernible in the distance; here, the A113 becomes the A13 (for Dresden) as it crosses the A10, the Berliner Ring, running across the image. This side of the motorway junction is the Amazon BER8 centre.

You´ll have a great view to the old buildings in Dresden, Saxony - Germany here... :-)))
In a few hours this white flower will have an intense violet color. The wonderful thing about the natural world where everything has its time.
many thanks to Angie (rubyblossom) for her gorgeous texture...

Yesterday I had some in car entertainment.... no not that kind! honestly what kind of a girl do you take me for ?
Nah not so radical as that I am afraid. last night was dance night and so I had to do my makeup in the car. Oh my I have forgotten just how hard that is especially with a rubbish interior light.
I really didn't have a clue what I looked until I got to the venue and powdered my noise, Not to bad it seems :-) So wish I didn't have to do things that way, Just imagine being what we dreamed to be. We could just pop to the rest room at work do what we needed to do to freshen our look then of we could go ready to face the world.
But then that would be normal and not at all exciting.
Had a good evening once again and I still have two left feet seems
