Good sightseeing and hiking on Cape Breton Island. Agree with the comment about visually nice but photographically a little plain. We drove the Cabot Trail around the north/east tip of the island and enjoyed it. Did a nice hike out to a vista looking towards the ocean with a nice view of the very green headlands. Cityscapes and boat/harbor shots might be more plentiful than stunning landscapes. Also nature shots on hiking trails would be good subject material. Do some research on the locally unique vegetation species and think about finding these items for subjects.

On our hike we came across a large bull moose about 15 yards from the hiking trail. He minded his own business and so did we! I have some digital P&S images that turned out fairly nicely.
