The interIsland Ferry travels from Wellington (North Island) to Picton (South Island). To get there it travels across the Cook Strait and then through the very picturesque Marlborough Sounds.
This is the North Head of the Tory Channel - the entry point for the Inter Island Ferry into the Marlborough Sounds.

Aoraki / Mount Cook (center) is the highest mountain in New Zealand at 3,724 metres (12,218 feet) and is located on the South Island in the Southern Alps region. On 12 February 2017 we had a rare clear view of the mountain top. Panoramic photo is a 17 exposure stitch, Nikon D7100 raw photos using Apple Aperture, Panorama Maker 5, and Photomatix Pro. Photo taken from the balcony outside our room at the Hermitage Hotel in Mt. Cook Village.

Cook's Bay, Mo'orea Island, French Polynesia, after dusk.
Captain Cook actually anchored in another bay (Opunohu Bay) behind the mountain at right (Rotui, 900m. alt.), but Haddock anchored in this bay as should anyone who likes photography.

Hallo liebe Leser,
heute wollte ich einer ganz bestimmten Person helfen. Seit beginn des Projektes laufe ich fast täglich an dieser Person vorbei. Immer an der gleichen Stelle steht er mit einem alten Pappbecher, hält älteren Leuten die Tür und fragt immer sehr höflich nach ein paar Cent. Seit fast einem Jahr laufe ich an ihm vorbei und denke mir "nächstes mal". Heute wollte ich - unbedingt.
In der Innenstadt angekommen stand er auch an seiner gewohnten Stelle. Ich ging auf ihn zu und sprach ihn an. Als erstes erzählte ich ihm von meinem Projekt und das ich seit fast einem Jahr an ihm vorbei laufe. "Ja, ich habe dich schon sehr oft gesehen" sagte er.
Ich fragte ihm ob er Lust hätte heute beim Mittagessen mein Gast zu sein, ich würde ihn gerne einladen. Er konnte es nicht ganz glauben und war sofort einverstanden. Auf dem Weg zum Thailänder haben wir uns sehr nett unterhalten. Ich habe sehr viel über ihn erfahren (was ich hier aber nicht schreiben werde) und es ist immer wieder sehr schwer zu verstehen.
Im Anschluss bedankte er sich für das Essen (Thaisuppe mit Nudeln) und für das offene Ohr. Wie er meint, ist es sehr schwer sich mit Leute länger zu unterhalten.
Ich will hier auf keinen Fall einen Moralapostel spielen, aber vielleicht denkt der/die eine oder andere ja mal drüber nach, wenn ihr an einem Menschen vorbei geht, der in so einer Lage steckt.
Ich wünsche euch eine tolle Vorweihnachtszeit und viele Grüße
Markus

(difficult trip out - "On August 3rd we began the 60-mile journey to the ocean. Rain, fog, and poor visibility made the trip a most uncomfortable one. When we reached the beach on August 9th we didn’t have a piece of dry clothing among us. The preceding six days had been too much for even waterproof articles. To add to our misery, a cache of food left on the beach was stolen, apparently by fishermen. We were reduced to a diet of wild peas for three days. On August 12th we were picked up by Merriman. Dr. Robert Sharp, geologist studying the Malaspina Glacier, had spotted us earlier that day while attempting to air drop supplies at his camp on the Malaspina Glacier.")

"Named in 1874 by . H. Dall, U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), for Captain James Cook, 1728-79, English navigator and explorer who was responsible for considerable exploration of the Alaska coast as far north as Icy Cape, near latitude 70." - edits.nationalmap.gov/apps/gaz-domestic/public/summary/13...

"In 1874 W. H. Dali and Marcus Baker of the U. S. Coast Survey named Mounts Cook and Vancouver from the sea, but somehow the names and elevations must have gotten scrambled, as they mapped Cook’s approximate elevation on Vancouver and Vancouver’s approximate elevation on Cook, and surely they had intended the higher mountain to bear Cook’s name, for he was the more famous of the two British navigators. At any rate, the names stuck where they first appeared on the maps and the elevations were soon applied to the right mountains. At the time of the Klondike gold rush the need was seen to determine the Alaska-Canada boundary more precisely, as the old Russian-British Treaty of 1825 had merely said for this section, "the chain of mountains which follow, at a very small distance, the winding of the coast.” The crests and interior of the Saint Elias Mountains were quite unknown around 1900 and "a very small distance” was taken to be within 10 marine leagues, so it was decided to connect prominent peaks no more than 34½ miles from the sea to form the boundary between the head of Portland Canal and the 141st meridian. Mount Vancouver was used as Boundary Peak 181, but the surveyors went in no further than the sea in this area, hence they used the south-southeast summit rather than the higher one hidden behind it."

This cottage was originally occupied by James and Grace Cook in Great Ayton, North Yorkshire during the 1750s. Their son James was to become the renowned sea captain, navigator and explorer who led three voyages of European discovery, including the East Coast of Australia. The young James did not live in the cottage, having established his own independent life in Staithes at this time, however it is accepted that he often stayed in it when visiting his parents. In 1933/4 the cottage was deconstructed carefully, shipped to Australia and faithfully rebuilt on its present site in Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne, to celebrate Victoria's Centenary in 1934. The ivy on its walls has purportedly flourished from a cutting brought out at the same time.

Elisha Cook didn't know that when he photographed a portal he was actually giving access for himself to be captured by his replicant. In the parallel universe where colors get wacky, the originals lose all color in their flesh. I am on a mission to rescue the original ECJ as we speak.
I love to cook cauliflower and I specially like this recipe that I have been making for a while now. The sauce on top really gives a cauliflower and nice flavor.
This is my good friend, Laura Cook.
One of the greatest girls I know.
Works full time, full time student, and 7 months pregnant.
Someone give her an award.
Redcliffe is located on the western shore of Moreton Bay, which is in turn partly bounded to the East by Moreton Island. Lieutenant James Cook sailed past Moreton Island on the 17th of May 1770 during his exploratory voyage up the eastern coast of Australia.
Redcliffe's commemoration of the Bicentenary of Cook's journey, features a large boulder and plaque in a foreshore park, accompanied by a smaller stone from the ruins of Whitby Abbey, Whitby being the Yorkshire village in England from which Cook sailed.
