The Naitch Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 After having a shite time of things over the last week or so I'm on the mend and spent the afternoon in the Academical Vaults in Hamilton. All is right with the world. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 "Culture Day" at the kids'school today. They encourage the kids to wear something from their culture and spend all day doing fun stuff to celebrate the diversity. Must have seen about 20 different national flags, and even more different styles of dress. Silks and sparkly bits from south asia, fancy stitching from east europe, bold primary colour prints from Africa, even the locals with their 19th century peasant outfits looked smart. Great to see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I've always been interested in native marine wildlife and over the years we've been really lucky with sightings of whales, dolphins, seals and such. Finally managed to see and photograph the last two remaining west coast orca whales today. Basically the holy grail of marine life sightings for cetacean geeks like me. These two range around everywhere between the hebrides and Ireland but are the last remaining members of their pod. I'd resigned myself to the fact they are two very small needles in a massive haystack, they are both elderly, one isn't looking in the best of condition, and it was unlikely I'd be lucky enough to get a sighting. Well the planets did align today that's for sure. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen orcas at Loro park and feel conflicted about watching it, despite how clever and agile they are, but to see them out in the wild must be amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
