  1. forgot to take a picture of #UHF Records in #RoyalOak as things became more frantic, but this interior shot sums up my musical tastes pretty well...

  2. All #Swiss #watch aficionados lust after the Holy Trinity: the #AudemarsPiguet #RoyalOak, the #PatekPhilippe #Nautilus, and the #VacheronConstantin #Overseas.

    I could not care less about them. Those watches are so, so 1970s—the Quartz Era.

    My favourite mechanical Swiss watch is the timeless #JaegerLecoultre (the watchmaker of watchmakers) #Reverso from the 1930s Art Deco Era, the OG of "sports watches".

  3. 85 years ago today. Early on 14 October 1939, HMS Royal Oak, anchored in Scapa Flow, Orkney, was sunk by a German U-boat with the loss of 834 lives. The tragedy is commemorated by the Royal Oak Memorial Garden, overlooking Scapa Bay. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kir

  4. Residents living next to the former #RoyalOak golf course in #Saanich fear that #IllegalHunting has caused a “significant drop" in the local population of #CaliforniaQuail.

    “Since early July, several people have witnessed and reported frequent trapping of quail to the Capital Regional District #CRD and other authorities,” said a resident, who wished to remain anonymous. “We believe the trappers have almost decimated the quail population on and around the property.”

    #BritishColumbia regulations only allow for California #quail to be hunted during October and November, by someone with a #hunting license. However, as the 10.94 hectare piece of land, adjacent to #ElkBeaverLake Regional Park, is owned and managed by the CRD, any hunting of wildlife, including quail, is a violation of a #CRDparks bylaw.

    The COS and the CRD have asked that anyone with information should contact the Report All #Poachers and Polluters hotline at 1-877-952-7277.

  6. The Royal Oak in Richmond Park, I've posted this tree before, I photographed it in a late spring covered in fresh green leaves, this time it was cold and it's bare branches coated in frost, this tree has stood for over 600 years and compared to many around it it is small, but wide, amazing to think this tree stood when Henry VIII hunted here. #tree #OakTree #AncientOak #RichmondPark #RoyalOak #Nature #NaturePhotography #Photography #Winter #WinterVibes #BeautifulEngland #AltText
