The Coast Mountains are a major mountain range in the Pacific Coast Ranges of western North America, extending from southwestern Yukon through the Alaska Panhandle and virtually all of the Coast of British Columbia south to the Fraser River. The mountain range's name derives from its proximity to the sea coast, and it is often referred to as the Coast Range. The range includes volcanic and non-volcanic mountains and the extensive ice fields of the Pacific and Boundary Ranges, and the northern end of the volcanic system known as the Cascade Volcanoes. The Coast Mountains are part of a larger mountain system called the Pacific Coast Ranges or the Pacific Mountain System, which includes the Cascade Range, the Insular Mountains, the Olympic Mountains, the Oregon Coast Range, the California Coast Ranges, the Saint Elias Mountains and the Chugach Mountains. The Coast Mountains are also part of the American Cordillera—a Spanish term for an extensive chain of mountain ranges—that consists of an almost continuous sequence of mountain ranges that form the western backbone of North America, Central America, South America and Antarctica.
The Coast Mountains are approximately 1,600 kilometres (1,000 mi) long and average 300 kilometres (190 mi) in width. The range's southern and southeastern boundaries are surrounded by the Fraser River and the Interior Plateau while its far northwestern edge is delimited by the Kelsall and Tatshenshini Rivers at the north end of the Alaska Panhandle, beyond which are the Saint Elias Mountains, and by Champagne Pass in the Yukon Territory. Covered in dense temperate rainforest on its western exposures, the range rises to heavily glaciated peaks, including the largest temperate-latitude ice fields in the world. On its eastern flanks, the range tapers to the dry Interior Plateau and the subarctic boreal forests of the Skeena Mountains and Stikine Plateau.
The Coast Mountains are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire—the ring of volcanoes and associated mountains around the Pacific Ocean—and contain some of British Columbia's highest mountains. Mount Waddington is the highest mountain of the Coast Mountains and the highest that lies entirely within British Columbia, located northeast of the head of Knight Inlet with an elevation of 4,019 metres (13,186 ft).

Our best view of these majestic mountains was from the ferry as we traveled from Victoria, on Vancouver Island, back to the mainland.

Close-up of the Dama Gazelle sculpture at The British Ironwork Centre, Oswestry, Shropshire
The critically endangered Dama Gazelle faces multiple threats including overhunting, habitat loss due to farming and agriculture practices, and competition for resources and space with domestic livestock.
You can see these sculptures on The Extinction Trail which features metal sculptures of endangered species like gorilla's and rhino's.
Visitor's can walk the Trail and learn all about the animals and use QR Codes to find out how to help with conservation efforts.

I found him...and he seemed quite relaxed, well at least he hadn't turned green...yet.
Remarkable how the sculptors / artists imagined this impressive creature from auto and machine parts, mostly scrap.
Big MLW's and small Alco's all on line climbing north out of the canyon and making quite the racket doing it.

Another from the early morning Twistleton sunrise set that I've got around to doing. The sun bursts over the ridge and makes itself visible for the first time in the day at the side of Ingleborough, it doesn't feel like we have had much sun at all lately so to see it at all is a bonus, more so when you've got up an ungodly hour to wade through snow to hopefully see it make an appearance at the location of your choice.... The warm glow cast over the snowy tops was most welcome as well from as much a thermal point of view as well as photographic!

This was on display a puffer fish at the British iron works shop( the lads used to call our manager that he always used to puff up when he was in a temper)!
The Queen Elizabeth II Great Court is a covered square at the centre of the British Museum. It was designed by the engineers Buro Happold and the architects Foster and Partners. The Great Court opened in December 2000 and is the largest covered square in Europe. The roof is a glass and steel construction, built by an Austrian steelwork company with 1,656 uniquely shaped panes of glass. At the centre of the Great Court is the Reading Room vacated by the British Library, its functions now moved to St Pancras. The Reading Room is open to any member of the public who wishes to read there.
The museum is dedicated to human history and culture. Its permanent collection, numbering some 8 million works, is among the largest and most comprehensive in existence and originates from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginnings to the present.
