in each and every moment



my memories of cape breton island - that grey, that wind, that wild, that wet - were gently, and retrospectively, altered when i picked up the images taken there.
i forgot the cold. i recalled the calm.
and the word "chill" took on a whole new meaning.

this is the horizontal - and cropped to panorama proportions - version.

    Fine photo to celebrate that.

  4. England has her Lake District, Italy has her Lake Maggiore in the mist, but only WE have Cape Breton. We have all been awaiting your images of this unique area - thank you, honey! It's never been more hauntingly captured -

  6. Cape Breton is a very beautiful place indeed. A little wet and cold of late but still beautiful!!

  7. Those rocks in the foreground of the photo make it so meaningful somehow. It is such a dark and grey photo, I hope it doesn't comply with your mood? You give us so much sky here, shattering the rule of thirds, but I cannot find it anything else but a great photo. The stripe of blue on the horizon attracts me somehow. To hell with the rule of thirds!

  10. Definitely Cape Breton... this shot is a fair definition of "maritime"

  12. I like the fog. Sometimes what you don't see is more than what you see...
