It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
celticcolours started tonight, and although things are a bit different this year, it’s never been easier to catch some live performances! Every single show this year is streamed, starting with a pre-show at 7:00, followed by a concert at 7:30. On both Saturday nights of the festival, the Festival Club streams beginning at 10 p.m.
And! There are videos released throughout the week from the highland_village, parks.canada and Celtic Colours itself.
Finally (phew!), I’m taking over the cb_celticheart social media channels tomorrow before playing Festival Club with darathefiddler around midnight.
Tune in—it’s all online, and it’s all free!

It’s Fall, y’all 🍁

I don’t think I’ll be hiking the Skyline this year with this belly, but I’m looking forward to seeing Cape Breton in all her Fall glory.

Have you been to the island this time of year?

Another tip for Fall 📸: Find your subject, like these easily accessible Falls, and shoot through the foliage creating layers. If that doesn't work, dummy it down and stand in front of the falls with double Peace signs, oh and wear something colourful and synthetic to distract the viewer from nature.

Cape Breton 💚🍂🌊
Not sure when I’ll be seeing you again, but it’s been a hell of a ride, I’ll always be an islander at heart. Thank you deb_retired_18 gchew1953 for being the best hosts and parents a guy could ask for!

+++ 🇨🇦 Cape Breton Island +++
Es fällt beim Fahren über die Brücke kaum auf, aber Cape Breton im Norden Nova Scotias ist tatsächlich eine Insel - auch wenn die beiden Landmassen nur durch etwa einen Kilometer getrennt sind. Zudem ist Cape Breton ein Traumziel - vor allem im Herbst.

🍂 Berühmt ist die Blattverfärbung, die wir hier oft als "Indian Summer" bezeichnen, drüben aber nur "Fall Foliage" heißt. Dann wird aus den grünen Ahornwäldern ein Meer aus Gelb und Feuerrot. Vor allem im Cape Breton Highlands National Park lässt sich dieses Spektakel bewundern.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Auf Cape Breton lebt die Kultur der schottischen Highlands weiter. Museen, Musikzentren, Pubs und sogar ein College für Gälisch, die Sprache der schottischen Highlands, gibt es auf Cape Breton. Und wenn sich die Blätter im Herbst so wunderbar verfärben, starten das "Celtic Colours Festival" mit berühmten Musikern von beiden Seiten des Atlantiks.

🦅 Die Pflanzen- und Tierwelt Cape Bretons ist tatsächlich noch wild (und für Besucher nicht zu unterschätzen!). Vor der Küste tummeln sich Wale, in den Wäldern Schwarzbären, Kojoten und Elche. Die Luft gehört hingegen den Weißkopf Adlern - majestätische Tiere.
