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!

Google + no longer will be a notifier of my posts


this is almost a pointless exercise in futility, but then you never know for sure - Google + is being shut down in April, BUT, already they have stopped supporting the widgets or whatever that notify some of you that I have put up another post - hopefully I will not lose you and that you who are smarter at the 'net' than myself will soon be checking out my endless supply of photographs (I never knew just how difficult it was going to be to turn out five new photographs a day without driving myself to boredom at times let alone you my unknown followers in general - as the variations on a theme tend to be almost unavoidable except those fortuitous  moments that occur, luckily, several times a week but not everyday, that's for sure) - and please feel free to comment to and I will try to reply when possible  
Thank you all
