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!

Visitor - and traveling


I've had a slow posting week due to traveling and settling into the summer place with all the getting squared away of clean-up and getting phone connected ( still days to go on that one) and just enjoying being re-baptised by the black flies and the silence that surrounds me at night along with the deep appreciation of extraordinary friends that I get to see such a short amount of time during the year but they are the friends of a rural way of living that still survives unchanged in essence these long years - so thank all that visit here for still stopping by for the slim pickings of my lack of internet (which is such a minor inconvenience except for my blog) and here-with listed for the week are:

United States
Canada
Portugal
Russia
Brazil
Philippines
Poland
Germany
France
India

and as usual listed in order of most visitors from to the least
