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.

"I Caught A Shad"


The Gentleman in the white tee shirt was checking his line after reeling in a fish, and turning to his left said in a raised voice - "I caught a nice Shad' [or reasonably close to that].  The young man, Quran, with the CMS Elite All Stars tee-shirt came walking over to see the Shad while I asked if I could take a photograph.  They both said take one of us together, so I did.  After they so nicely agreed,  I also asked if I could put it on my blog so that people in countries around the world could see.  Quran and I chatted for a while about my blog etc,  the end result being that I gave him my blog name (I garbled the name a bit, but with that deftness of the young he quickly found it on his phone).  So, if you are reading this Quran, check back tomorrow and I'll update the post with a listing of the countries that shared this.  Thanks
