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.

Through The Trees

If you look through the trees you can make out my house at the back 
my old 1964 Cub Lo-boy still going strong

Sun-down Light On Tree Top

This was a quick snap of the upper story when I was doing
just to give an indication of how the woods felt at that time of day

Ducks at Dusk

 On the way home as the sun wended below the horizon I spotted this collection of ducks at the old dam site where the fast flowing waters of North East Creek were still keeping ahead of the cold weather.  I often imagine what it must be like to be at home in the natural world in rain and cold, snow and wind, icy waters, thickening ice, diminishing food, and all those slings and arrows of the outrageous world around them.
