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.

- And here in our 'neck of the woods' - Newark, Delaware's own Woman's March - are 'The Girls'


litterally thousands of 'Women's Marches' in protest of Donald Trump are taking place across the U.S. of A, and across the world from Australia to Europe with over half a million people gathering in Washington D.C. alone (I believe it took only 19 minutes for the crowd to exceed the size of those at the inauguration yesterday) - in some large cities in the U.S. marches had to be cancelled because the numbers of people showing up have filled the streets in a compact mass covering the entire marching route - there is no place to march but the people are there - this is the reaction to the most unpopular president ever elected - and prospective marchers attempting to cross the border from Canada were turned back at the borders by customs officers given orders not to allow them in - this is what is happening at the border of what for over a hundred years has been the two most friendly nations on earth - and all over the (place your own pejorative adjective here) Trumpkov!!!

The above photo shows (in this particular photograph) my wife, daughter, grandchildren and another close relative in the foreground as they march in solidarity with mothers, and daughters across our land and around the globe. 

 'The Girls' and all the other marchers in this small university town are demonstrating the strength of our country in this peaceful, volunteer organized, open display of what they deem the qualities that our country should stand for - marching along the sidewalks, obeying traffic lights and excellent police control and in general conforming to regulations of the city of Newark so that the spirit of freedom shines forth here and across our nation. Amen!
