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!

Friend's Sailboat - North East River

June 2012 Permalink
First time since I was about five years old that I have been on a keeled Sailboat.  We spent an enjoyable couple hours with Kevin sailing and me just joyed to be along for the ride.  I wish that I had somehow years earlier in life taken up this sport and had a similar boat of my own today.  Thanks Kevin.

just happened to remember that my daughter invited me along on a much larger sailboat some years ago that she and her husband had owned about five miles toward the far end of the shoreline at the top of the photo.

A Small Thought From The Old Fellow Himself!




- may we live in peace and civility all our days.

This from my posting on 24 Dec 2012 - and which I find to be my mantra these days.
