The lighthouse and dock seem to float in merged space of sea and sky. Everything is grey-toned…except that bright orange ball. Baddeck, in the heart of Cape Breton Island, is a picturesque village on the shores of BrasD’Or Lake. I was not the first person to fall in love with this place. Alexander Graham Bell and his family found Baddeck enchanting in 1865 and built their home here…and it was Mrs. Bell who introduced rug-hooking to the villagers…who became hooked… and that led to Chéticamp becoming the rug-hooking capital of the world.
