Viewing: Cape Breton - View all posts

As promised, we finally got around to posting the recording we did at Benjie's Lake back in November.  Hoping for the return of a moose cow and calf that had been reported earlier, we paused for a long time at…

Here's 20 minutes of natural white noise masking, courtesy of Corney Brook Falls, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The 4K wide original wasn't that interesting, so we opted for a long, slow tilt down the falls in 1080 HD instead.

Well, we've definitely enjoyed the last of fall here in Cheticamp.  It's getting chilly and the overcast days definitely outnumber the sunny recently. 

It was cold on our visit to Benjie's Lake, and we found small patches of snow along the trail - the first we've encountered this year.

We've set out for Beulach Ban Falls many times but we always seem to get distracted by some sight or sound on the way there.  This time we finally made it.  It was chilly, and the sun wasn't in the…

So once again we set out for Beulach Ban Waterfall, and once again we got distracted by the natural beauty along the way.  This time it was the larger-than-usual surf at Le Bloc and the beach where Corney Brook meets…

Corney Brook Trail follows its namesake to a waterfall some 3.3 km from the trailhead. Along the way, the stream widens and narrows, joining with others until it cascades into the ocean a short distance below the start.

Today's posting is a field recording from MacIntosh Brook Falls on the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. We'll post video when we get a chance, but the audio alone is quite nice too.

The microphone was placed…

Gypsum Mine Lake is so close to our AirBnB that we could visit any time with ease.  And since it's outside the Highland National Park we had a couple opportunities to get out the drone and look at those beautiful…

We left Port Hawkesbury headed to Cheticamp for a month, and had an arrival window that gave us a couple hours along the way to stop and make this recording at Myles Doyle Brook.

We've stayed in quite a few short-term rentals at this point.  This particular home is equipped with a Hellmouth Toilet.  Imagine getting up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and seeing this eerie red glow coming…

It was a cloudy day, but the sunset put on one last show on for us as we prepared to leave the south end of Cape Breton.  Field recordings give our trips purpose and focus, but what they really are…

Getting this recording was an amazing sensory experience, and we're always conscious that these videos only capture a tiny part of what's happening around us when we make them.  From finding fossils, sea glass and polished pebbles, to the feeling…

Walking the Red Island trail in Indian Brook from the St. Ann's Bay United Church parking lot on a beautiful day in July.

The sound of the calm water gently lapping against a stone beach was intoxicating and we couldn't…

We spent a good many hours at Petersfield Provincial Park.  It's beautifully maintained with easy walking and wonderful birdsong.  Here's the field recording:
