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!

Sans debrider - Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier


By Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier, J. W. Mackay, New York, Called Sans debrider (Without Dismounting). Two cavaliers have stopped to drink in front of the inn, and are attended by a man-servant and waiting-maid ; in background, a gallant takes his ease under shelter of the inn balcony. Painted in 1876 ; John Wilson sale, Paris (1881). Etched by Lalauze.

I had a chance to purchase this print on silk for a reasonable price - I love it.
(will try to get a better photo and update same later)

Does This Count (red sky at night)

as the sun tries vainly to pour through the cloud cover around 4:30 p.m. across the broad expanse of the river one can just spot the dirigible against the cloud cover
