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!

Where In Cecil County













I like the flowing water of this lovely creek about to become a tidal river and planned to post it with another name but decided to see if any local viewers might be able to identify this well known body of water.

Ring Necked Duck - Aythya collaris

This lone female Ring Necked Duck was somewhat difficult to identify at first - as the female ducks of most species are dun coloured to blend in well when brooding eggs -  but the white ring around the eye and the white ring around the dark bill with the distinctive head shape finally cinched it for me.

Earnanæs

I have changed the title of this posting to Earnanæs, as the reference to Beowulf was too vague as Västergötland:
  re/  "Beowulf decides to follow the dragon into its lair, at Earnanæs, the location in Geatland (today southern Sweden), where the hero of the epic kills the dragon but dies. The ancient stronghold of Aranæs (58°40′N 13°35′E) was located near Skara on the shore of lake Vänern, in Västergötland."
