Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > On July 19th, 20th and 21st 1996, torrential rain fell on the Saguenay--Lac-Saint-Jean region, especially on the area of the Saguenay. Over 260 millimetres of rain fell for 50 consecutive hours causing the flash floods in many important waterways. Dubbed as the "Saguenay flood", it is one of the most important natural disaster in the history of the Province of Quebec. The damages caused by the catastrophic rainfall tally up to around 700 million dollars Canadian. Who hasn't seen the Little White House stand firm in the midst of Chicoutimi River's furious flow. This home quickly became a symbol of resistance, courage and determination for Saguenay's population. While most of the Basin's homes were swept away by the current, the Little White House resisted to this raging nature.
Why did such a small centennial home resist to the force of the water when some of its neighbours were swept away? First of all, when the Kénogami barrier lake was risen at the beginning of the century, the owners of the house took precautions and rose the building on higher concrete foundations. Was this a premonition that one day the Kénogami lake would flow over? Moreover, the house was built on solid rock, a part of which is jutting out and thus deviated the water , protecting the foundations.

The Little White House of Gédéon Street will remain in the collective memory of the Saguenay population for a long time.

Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > there are times that looking under things makes you discover. I could say that this is the same with people.

Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > 2012-09-20 I was just far enough to observe this great blue heron looking for food.

Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > I would enter the castle but it is only a mirage, or is it?

Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > I can imagine the life behind the glass; hapiness and sadness I am sure.

Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > One Jasmine tea and one Italian soda, they were quite refreshing.

Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > When the wind is spleeping, the is always the river to carry you.

Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > There was a time where kids were playing on the alley.

Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > A rainy day is feeding the trees and the lakes. It is also our times to find new energy.

Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > Survive in harsh environment is possible.

Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > A feline look but it was a friend, following me around the yard as I was shooting a few frames.

Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > There are many reasons why we love our country.

Jean-Yves (Ifocus) > Lac Kenogami - Kénogami Lake (French: Lac Kénogami) is a long lake in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of south-central Quebec, Canada. It is 21 miles long and has an average width of 3/4 of a mile. Its area is 57 km² and it is 11 to 102 meters deep. "Kénogami" means "long lake" in the Montagnais dialect and was originally used to refer to Kenogami Lake, Ontario. It is situated in the Laurentian highlands 150 kilometres north of the Saint Lawrence River, into which it drains via the Saguenay River through the Chicoutimi and Aux-Sables Rivers.
The lake is fed by dozens of small rivers coming from the Laurentian Highlands. The three principal being the Pikauba, Cyriac and Aux-Ecorces Rivers. The towns on its shores include Lac-Kénogami, and Hébertville station.

This could be a fresco from ancient greece but instead, this is a modern digital creation. Made from a water reflection as a starting point, then adding elements as I see fit.
