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.

I blogged a slightly different version of this on 12 Dec '12, but cannot help putting this view up again as it is one of my favorite scenes of all times.
The day we visited L'Anse Aux Meadows we stayed the night near-by in Hay Cove at the Viking's Nest. (A fantastic supper that evening, maybe the best of the trip). We took a hike from the harbour out onto a gorgeous headland where I snapped a few photos - which at the time seemed like a lot but in retrospect was way too few. I am not positively certain but I believe we are seeing the bright sunlight of late day over Quirpon Island.
