Cabot Trail
This 300 km trail through the highlands of Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton, on Canada’s east coast, is actually a drive; a beautiful, scenic loop carved into the side of mountains that rise high above the waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It winds around Cape Breton’s northern shore, ascending to the plateaus of Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Cape Breton has been rated one of the best Island destinations in the world and this is in no small part to the Cabot Trail that offers breathtaking vistas of Cape Breton’s rugged coastline, where pods of whales and bald eagles are a common sight. Cape Bretoners are unusually hospitable and welcome you with their “100,000 welcomes”, or “Ciad Mile Failte” as they say in Gaelic. Cape Breton’s most famous resident, Alexander Graham Bell, once said “I have travelled around the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and the Highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all.”. image hosted on flickr  View from the South Side by gwhiteway, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  DGJ_4694 - Neil's Harbour Lighthouse by archer10 (Dennis) OFF, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Canada_East_Coast_Cabot_Trail by ejbjj, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  by somadjinn, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Cabot Trail by somadjinn, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Beach by _athenaa, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  Riding the Cabot Trail by kweaver2, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  the cabot trail by Es.mond, on Flickr |

did you go to every single source to investigate where the image was originally made? just take it easy and enjoy the pictures guys. if i was you, i wouldn't complain about tiny errors like the pictures of birds or air balloons since they don't represent any identity or recognition of the country. oh what about i post the images without titles and you label those pictures? i suppose it would be a more convenient collaboration though
