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!

Before we turned in for the first night on Newfoundland we walked the 500 meters or so down to the shore and then along the beach.  It was different in the scale of shore line edge to the water but otherwise very similar to walking along the beach in Cape Breton - windy, cool, refreshing and with utter solitude from life's usual bustle and intrusion.  (and of course as a tourist I had no worries about working on those cold and beautiful waters).

  1. Cape Breton Island is one of my favorite destinations in Canada. We tent camped there for a week and never saw the sun. The entire week the only people we saw were seaweed gathers using a horse cart. The most memorable moment was when I saw a Bald Eagle in the wild for the first time. Thanks for giving me a chance to think about this great place!
