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.

Down The Beach
Far down the shore the house I call 'The Mointeach House" at the end of the 'East Side' appears as a dim white thought

Carol, I think I sent an email earlier today to you, but I have just now visited my blog and read both p24 and p25 from the above web address. Thank you so much for your occasional comment and today especially for the capebretonmagazine article. If you do not mind I will post it soon with reference to your kind assistance. I am always interested in the area from the 'Highlands' road, the Lewis Cove road and the road down to Fourchu and Gabarus and up to Loch Lomond. Stephen
Just saw your comment, and do not recall responding! I do not mind you posting the article. So glad you are in Grand River Falls now... Wishing I was there... especially want to show my ggg grandfather's house to my husband. It's located in Loch Lomond on the Westside Loch Lomond Road/McNabs Road. It's just after you cross the bridge over the Grand River where it flows into Loch Lomond. It's the house with two picture windows. Wishing you a great vacation, and looking forward to viewing more of your Cape Breton photos.
