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!

This is
an attempt to steer long time visitors of my blog under its old name of some years:

singlemalt-capebreton-norvellhimself@blogspot.com

to the same blog under its new name for some number of months now:
capebreton-norvellhimself-singlemalt@blogspot.com




Some while ago Google did away with their Google + network, which same had steered many visitors to my blog.  And as a result about half my readership disappeared leaving me able only to attract visitors with Facebook, and Twitter notices of my new postings.  Then more recently some person for reasons to me unknown, reported to Facebook that my blog was posting inappropriate material .  Immediately Facebook denied my posts and have never responded to my entreaties to check it out for themselves.  
I then changed the original name to a similar name - as shown above - but have never had the readership return of those earlier years.  So today I am running this one post under the old name in hopes of catching the eye of some of the old followers that might still hope to find my blog again -  AND IF YOU DO SEE THIS then please just do the simple change of 'singlemalt' from the beginning to the end of the original title.

Thank you, NorvellHimself

Loy Ching-Yuen

(1873 – 1960)

Loy Ching-Yuen was one of China’s best known Taoist tai chi masters of the early 20th century.

When enlightenment arrives
don’t talk too much about it;
just live it in your own way.
With humility and depth, rewards come naturally.
