Cliff Hanger


northern point of cape breton island, nova scotia. the cabin in the midground was my home for close to a year in '93. the ocean in the background was my entire view upon going to sleep and waking up. it may not look like it from this view but it sat RIGHT on the edge of the cliff. over a hundred yard drop. i never quite got used to the feeling of the strong winds that would blow out or in or around and under the floorboards. you could hear and feel the strain on the nails that kept the place togetheras they loosened just a bit each time. when a real heavy gust emerged i would sit up and turn my feet toward the door. THAT scenario could have made my list as well!

What were you there for in the first place is what I want to know.

This is on the acerage of a buddhist monastery. its a super beautiful unspoiled and unpopulated bit of paradise (for about 4 months out of the year - then its just damn cold and snowy) miles and miles of nothing but nature. a good place to go and meditate and evaluate your priorities. time well spent.
