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!

Rathad Chaluim




I do not know who took this photo but I love it as my younger son is called Calum.  Somewhere in Ireland I presume - and if the original photographer sees this I hope you contact me so that I can give you credit (or remove as a posting if you wish).  Himself!

An anonymous comment set the record straight about the location of Rathad Chalum - it is in Scotland as verified in his comment by the link

The Great Bird of River Bourgeois




August 2012
This was a lucky August day for me for getting successive photos of this wary bird.  I had driven my summer scenic tour thru the River Bourgeois area and as I headed back up onto the old route 4 (I think I have that right) I passed this small cul-de-sac  of water off River Bourgeois where Mr. Blue was wading.
