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!

Lovely Silhouette

While out Colora way to cut a Christmas tree, this lovely Japanese landscaping tree in the front yard of an old acquaintance from my days at Thiokol caught my eye.  Although he did tell me the name I only remember the 'Japanese' discription.  What an enhancing silhouette this marvelous tree gives to the eye.

A Little R&R

it's about 8:50 p.m. here on the east coast and I am back on line after a trip to the ER late Saturday night - just a bit of old age giving me a teaser on what's to come - but for now I'm home and doing pretty well - no pictures till tomorrow and with the press of catching up for Xmas it will be a brief post I'm sure - Good Night for now and my wishes for a great Christmas to all.  Norvellhimself
