What's It All About, eh?

Cape Breton evokes deep memories and strong emotions for me as well as a deep appreciation for the beauty of my adopted island. My hopes are that you too might find the photos evocative - maybe a view you've not enjoyed before, or an 'Oh I've been there', or if from away that you may be encouraged to visit this fair isle so that you might come to love and breathe Cape Breton as I do. One word about place names that I use - some are completely local usage while others are from maps of Cape Breton that I've purchased over the years. I frequently post travel and other photos that are of interest to me - and hopefully you.

On the right hand side bar find my take on Single Malt whiskey - from how to best enjoy this noble drink to reviews (in a most non-professional manner) of ones that I have tried and liked - or not. Also musings, mine and others, on life in general.

Photographs are roughly 98%+ my own and copy-righted. For the occasional photo that is borrowed, credit is given where possible - recently I have started posting unusual net photographs that seem unique. Feel free to borrow any of my photos for non-commercial use, otherwise contact me. Starting late in 2013 I have tried to be consistent in identifying my photographs using ©smck on all out of camera photos I personally captured - (I often do minor computer changes such as 'crop' or 'shadow' etc but usually nothing major), and using ©norvellhimself on all photos that I have played around with in case it might not be obvious. Lately I have dropped the ©smck and have watermarked them with the blog name.

COMMENTS are appreciated as feedback is the driving energy of blogging - And if you like this site please pass it along to a friend. Thanks!

Fullers Bridge - near Fourchu

©  August '09  photo  by smck

We had taken the kayaks down toward Fourchu and parked in the field at Fullers bridge.  Here the clamming marshes stretched out in this lovely view of the salt grasses, the spruce and the channels winding toward the ocean.  A perfect day of solemn beauty, the background sound of crows and sea birds above the distant low voice of the mild surf breaking on the Framboise Cove barrier bar gave the feeling of being alone in the world.  We followed this particular channel down to the bar but did not find the gut leading to the ocean.  Looking at the map later it seemed we should have paddled upriver then crossed to the other side of the marsh and headed downstream on that side but we enjoyed our small adventure and the journeys into the back waters of the lakes toward Framboise.

    My great great grandfather's house and barn was next to Fuller's Bridge...with an out house built over the water!
