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.

Swallows Looking For Grinding Gravel

© Aug '12
I'm guessing here, but after seeing these swallows pecking in the gravel lane of my friends house it seems to me they were looking for small gravels for their gizzard.

Water, Water Every Where . . .

Roughly two hours out to sea I decided to go out on deck and take a few photos.  Even though the ferry had a small roll from side to side the sea was amazingly calm when viewed from the ship.  Looking closely at the top photo you can see the small wavelets on the larger running swells but nothing exciting.  Even though during the initial  hour or so of  being underway was mainly clear sky and sun, as the day progressed and the ship got farther from land the sky began to scud with cloud and lowering hint of rain.  Almost invariably the only people beside staff that I ran into on deck were victims of nicotine addiction shivering in the cool-ish breeze while gallantly sucking down lung-fulls of  their old ciggies acrid and chemically altered smoke
