A walk around campus - or rather enjoying the landscape

Royal Roads University is a very special place with a lot of history.  The main building is an old castle built by a rich Scottish guy (and former governor of British Columbia).  Later the building and surrounding land was sold to the state and the Military College was established on its grounds.  In 1996 the Military College was closed and a private university established instead.  Since then Royal Roads has grown and added buildings - and continues to grow.  I will share more bits and pieces of campus, for now, I only walked around the surrounding land and enjoying the scenery...


 Hatley Castle
 Anyone recognise the school for the gifted??!! :)



See those mountains in the back?  That is Washington!


 The forest is amazing...
The lake which is the view from my bedroom.... 

 Bächle gibt's auch!!!!  Hier nennt man die allerdings Lachs-Leitern...  tse...  ;)


 Fall is on its way...  yet, the sun is still strong and the weather amazing!  What a welcome!

 Here you can see the old naval history...  the flag pole and the commandant's house.  My office is in that building - will show you more once I start work.  Tomorrow...
