Photographs By Old Raven, All photos taken by Old Raven

Thank you Valpal. I was actually running back to the highway to get these. (we're the first house off the highway) Those clouds were cruising, and I didn't want to miss it.

OR, photos are absolutely wonderful! I love seeing Nova Scotia and hope to get there one day myself. Looks like you have access to some wonderful views. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome photos oldraven. I love the reflections and the colors. Thank you for posting these.

one word, perticularly for the first one:

WOW!

Thanks guys. Ange and I are taking our late anniversary hiking/camping trip this weekend and I'll hopefully have some new images to share. We're doing a hiking tour through Cape Breton (NW) now that the Celtic Colours Festival is on the go. The colours should be perfect. There's still about a third of the leaves that are still green, but should be all turned by the weekend.

Here are some of the photos from the trip, unaltered. The haze was a little out of control about mid-day when we were on the skyline trail (looking over at the Cabot Trail).

Beautiful is all I can say takes my breath away. Thank You for this

Thank you, Harlot. And no problem. What's the point of taking them if you're not going to share, right?

I absolutely love all of your pictures, oldraven They are breathtaking Thanks for sharing

Camac.

I so agree with everyone. They are breathtaking. Heaven on earth. I would really love to see it someday. Do you offer a guide service?
Thank you for sharing.

Yes, indeed. In fact it seems to me, looking at these, that if you couldn't get the Scottish highlands, Cape Breton would not be a poor substitute. . .

You've got a wonderful eye, oldraven, as I've said before, but you also have some stunning subject matter to work with.

Those rock-and-water shots remind me of a verse from Willam Cullen Bryant's poem "March" (timely, no?):

" . . . Then sing aloud the gushing rills
and the wild brooks from frost set free,
that lightly leaping down the hills
renew their journey to the sea . . ."

(I had one of those sixth-grade teachers that made us memorize things )

Alexander Grahame Bell chose Cape Breton as his home because it was the closest to the Highlands that could be found outside of Scotland. Old Ravens' pics are gorgeous.
