I bought this Japanese hanging scroll landscape on eBay. The painting itself is 49.4 inches tall, and the entire scroll is taller than me.

Vom 07. bis zum 09. November 2014 ist das innerstädtische Berlin von der Bornholmer Straße über den Mauerpark und die Gedenkstätte Bernauer Straße, über den Reichstag, das Brandenburger Tor und den Checkpoint Charlie bis zur East Side Gallery vorübergehend geteilt: Eine Lichtinstallation mit 8000 weißen, beleuchteten und mit Helium gefüllten Ballons auf einer Länge von 15 Kilometer erinnert an die ehemals geteilte Stadt. An Stelen entlang der Strecke konnten die Besucher die Geschichten von Menschen nachverfolgen, in deren Leben die Mauer eine wichtige Rolle gespielt hat. 2 Millionen Menschen besuchten zum Jubiläumswochenende die Lichtgrenze.
Ausgangspunkt der Idee war die Erkenntnis, dass Einheimische wie Touristen sich vor allem für die Berliner Mauer und die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus interessieren – aber nur noch die Hälfte der Berliner die Mauer aus eigenem Erleben kennt. Da lag der Gedanke nahe, die Menschen an die authentischen Orte zu bringen und zu zeigen, wo genau die Mauer 28 Jahre lang die Stadt durchschnitten hat und welche dramatischen Szenen sich dort abgespielt haben.
Die nach einer Idee von Christopher Bauder und Marc Bauder entwickelte Installation ruft durch ihre emotionale, visuelle Kraft die Dimension der Mauer in Erinnerung.

25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall - a light installation with 8000 balloons, Berlin 2014
From 7 to 9 November 2014, inner-city Berlin will be temporarily divided from Bornholmer Strasse to Mauerpark and the Bernauer Strasse memorial, via the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie to the East Side Gallery: A light installation with 8000 white, illuminated and helium-filled balloons over a length of 15 kilometres commemorates the formerly divided city. At steles along the route, visitors could follow the stories of people in whose lives the Wall played an important role. 2 million people visited the border of light during the anniversary weekend.
The starting point for the idea was the realisation that both locals and tourists are primarily interested in the Berlin Wall and the National Socialist era - but only half of Berliners still know the Wall from their own experience. So the idea of taking people to the authentic sites and showing them exactly where the Wall cut through the city for 28 years and what dramatic scenes took place there was an obvious one.
The installation, developed from an idea by Christopher Bauder and Marc Bauder, evokes the dimensions of the Wall through its emotional, visual power.

In 1997, William McIlvanney led a group of fellow artists on a bus tour round Scotland in the run up to the referendum on the Scottish Parliament. They were listening to local people’s views on the kind of Scotland they wanted to live in after the referendum, whether they were voting Yes or No.
In May 2014 the Bus Party Listening Lugs tour went from Stromness to Stirling visiting 16 venues asking “What kind of Scotland do we want?” Artists included James Robertson, Karine Polwart, Billy Kay, Hamish Moore, Neal Ascherson and David Francis among others.
In April 2015 the Bus Party held a final event at the University of Scotland asking people again 7 months after the referendum "what kind of Scotland do we want?". The Bus Party collection relating to 1997 and 2014 is now held within the SPA archive.
The Scottish Political Archive is housed at the University of Stirling. The archive is home to the oral interviews, personal papers and associated material from prominent Scottish politicians.

This is a photograph from the second annual Kilcock Kilomarathon 2013 which was held at Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 6th October at 11:00. This event follows on from the very successful inaugural event last year. The event today also included a 6KM Fun Run and Walk. There was also a specially organised officially recognised marathon which allowed competitors to complete the 6KM course seven times for the marathon distance. The main event was the kilomarathon which is approximately 26.3 kilometers (a little over 16 miles). The race started and ended in Kilcock GAA club and took a left turn route out to Newtown, then Donadea The Range, Tirmoghan, and returning back via the Clane Road Roundabout to Kilcock GAA. There was a slight change to last year's route which brought the race out on the Kilcock AC 5KM Road Race route for 1km. This is a tough challenging course which brings runners up the locally famous 'Newtown Hill' (see Google Street View goo.gl/maps/VbHUo) and across by Donadea Forest. There was stewarts position at every junction point in the race.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: There was about 200 participants between the Kilomarathon and the 6KM Race.
Weather: This was a relatively dry day with very light showers at times. The temperatures were a little higher than one would expect for early October with temperatures around 16C. There was a light breeze.
Course: The entire route does not actually bring the race into Kilcock town at all as the race never actually crosses the railway or Royal Canal both which run through the town slighly south-easterly towards Dublin. Leaving Kilcock GAA the race route follows country roads westerly until the course passes Knockanally Golf and Country Club. The direction then turns south until it turns again at Donadea Forest park brings the race back in a north-easterly direction towards Kilock. The course was very well marshalled with marshals at every junction. There was also a very significant Garda presence at major road crossings and junctions.
Location Map: Start, Finish, and Race Headquarters at Kilcock GAA (Google Streetview) goo.gl/maps/5OBnR
Refreshments: There was a very impressive array of refreshments provided for participants afterwards in Kilcock GAA. There were showers and changing rooms also provided.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
The Bergonzi scroll more or less done - just the chin area to finalise when the neck is made ready for fitting to the body mortice. This is a new graft - with a figured neck stock onto a plain maple scroll block. The neck and chin are as yet unfinished - these are gradually blended into shape while perparing the neck for fitting to the body - and finalised after th neck joint is made.
We went to see the Dead Sea Scrolls - the oldest written record of the bible's scripture. The exhibit also put the scrolls in context, as it showcased the archeological dig, the Jewish culture in the time before Jesus' birth, and how the bible has evolved through the years - words on papyrus, later written in illuminated manuscripts and eventually printed as bound books.
Rough Waves
Flowing Streams: Scenes from Japanese Art and Life
Since ancient times the ceaseless flow of streams and rivers that crisscross the islands of Japan has been likened to the transitory nature of life. Japanese paintings from all ages portray the phases of Japanese life as they unfold on and alongside the flowing creeks, rivulets, and rivers. In this special installation, paintings and screens from the Metropolitan’s own collection are complemented by loans from private collections in New York and other areas.

A fiddle made by my father...
Fiddle making has been in the family as my grandfather made the fiddles that both my dad and my uncle played all their lives. He made my dads the year he was born (1922) and then my uncles John`s the year he was born (1931)
My dad made the fiddle above, a copy of a Stradivarius Faciebat Anno, 16 years ago (started in 1998, finished in 1999) and not long after he finished it, he passed away. He played the fiddle several times before he became ill... he was very proud of it, it has a really rich, lovely tone to it. He left it to me and his own fiddle (the one made for him by his father) to my brother. I guess I`d better learn to play it now...
Cool place to relax on a fun, eclectic... smokey... patio with pretty much any kind of drink you could want.

Today the Jodo Mission of Hawaii saw the return of its hand-painted Japanese hanging scroll. At least 60 years old and the second largest such artifact in Hawaii, it was fully restored by skilled Japanese artisans under the direction of Japan Memorial Corporation's Tatsuji Maeda, who presented the restoration work to the Jodo Mission board this morning. This prized artwork will be carefully stored and only displayed in the temple maybe twice a year. I'd love to hear from anyone who knows more about these scrolls, it was certainly an education for us (and a substantial investment).
