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.

I was focusing on Big Blue with the background ducks but before I could snap the photograph he was off and away

Just A Comment On Number of Pageviews By Country


When I look at the daily and 'now' statistics for page views per country I never see Canada anymore - and it was sort of a disappointment.  But when I look at page views per country over the course of a week, then amazingly Canada is second from the top.  What I figure is that there are a lot of countries around the world that see my blog but perhaps only for one day out of that week and at the time they viewed more than Canada did on that particular day - and since Google only gives the top ten countries for any one period of time, if Canada is perhaps 11th or12th for the day it just gets dropped, while some country paging in just one day a week with a few hits disappears from the top ten over the term of a whole week.  At any rate, thanks old friends and hopefully some new, from Canada for tuning in faithfully for this low-key blog,
