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.

Glenmorangie The Original


My older son gave me the elegant Glenmorangie Original 10 year old for Christmas, a really fine single malt that I have had a few years before.  Could not wait to sample it so on arriving home last night I poured a nice wee dram and too soon, even sipping, it was gone.  I will be doing a proper post of this soon but for now know that it was well worth the wait - and for a quick look at the horse's mouth go to the following link:

Free - II

Free

one of the reasons for the title 'Free', among many in my mind, is that legend has it that this particular marshy creek and wooded area was long ago part of the 'Underground Railroad' for escaping slaves from the South on their way to Northern States.
