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.

Fire & Cane - Glenfiddich Experimental Series Single Malt Whisky


 My wife treated me to a new single malt the other day which I had read about but might not have gotten around to trying - simply because the closest I have come to drinking a Glenfiddich Single Malt is the numerous times that I have sipped their great blended Monkey Shoulder malt.  So far I have tried 'Fire & Cane' this one time (as shown in the photograph above) and found it very appealing.  Due to taking medication to relieve some Sciatica nerve pain that has been driving me to sleepless nights , I have not followed up with several nights of sipping and reflecting on how it appeals to me and taking a few notes on same to post here.  It is quite nice and hopefully in a week or so I will stop back and update a few words that will give you a better take on how I enjoy 'Fire & Cane'.  For now though you might click on the link below and see how Karla Alindahao writing for Forbes simply loves this great new malt.
