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.

Where In North East (is this)

[this is an unfair question for all but local viewers - but hey, just a little bit of fun]
 
I wonder if any of the viewers in my local area can identify the tower in this photo.

- By It's Own Reflection In The Tide

well with a bit of liberty with misquoting  - ' and the North Church Tower was magnified by it's own reflection in the tide'

Eagle On Nest - II

Well actually there is no eagle on the nest in this photo.  It flew away.  But I wanted to show the overall background of the nesting area.

Eagle On Nest


For some reason today when I was doing some of my quick snaps on the way home, I noticed this nest that evidently has been in this particular spot all along when I had been traipsing about there before.  I should get some  better shots another day soon I hope.  Look closely along the top of the huge bundle of sticks of a nest and you will see the white head and dark shoulders looking basically away from me but the head is twisted just enough that I think that articulated dual eye system is looking back over his shoulder at me.
