The rugged landscape is starting to look a little tiring to us. At least I'm able to eat enough to keep me going.
Britanya'lı ressam ve çizimci Henry Cook (1819- 1890 yaklaşık) Londra'da Royal Academy okulunda ve Roma'da eğitim aldı. Doğu'da uzun süre seyahat ettikten sonra Şövalye ünvanını aldı, şiirler yayınladı ve sanatıyla ilgili birçok makale ve kitap yazdı. Özellikle peyzaj resmi ile tarih ve savaş konulu resimde uzmanlaşan Cook'un eserleri 1840 yılından 1855 yılına dek Royal Academy'de sergilenmişti. Ayrıca Cook İtalya seyahatine ilişkin tablolarını içeren kitaplar da yayınladı. Çok nadir bir kitap olan sözkonusu yayın 1852 yılı Nisan ayından 1853 Şubat ayına dek aralıklarla yayınlanmış olup Cook tarafından Lord Henry George Ward'a ithaf edilmişti. Cook, İyon adalarında genel vali olan Lord Henry George Ward ile birlikte eğlenme amacıyla (avcılık) Adriyatik denizini geçip İyon adalarına gelir ve Yunanistan'a uğradıktan sonra Anadolu ve İstanbul'a seyahat eder.
Yolculukları Avusturya'dan başlar. Dalmaçya kıyılarından geçerler, Korfu (Kerkira) ve Kefalonya adalarında gelirler; Patra'dan Korint ve Lutraki'ye devam ederler. Atina'da kalırlar, Nafplion, Argos, Mikene, Tirins, Hydra ve Nemea'yı ziyaret ederler. Nihayet Nisan ayı sonunda İstanbul'a varırlar, ondan sonra İzmir'i ziyaret ederler.
Gravürlerine eşlik eden açıklamalardan başka, Cook, her görüntüye ilişkin olarak o mekânı ne zaman ve nasıl çizdiğine dair bilgiler verir. Tarihî anıtların özdeşleşmesinde bazı yanlışlıklar olmasına karşın Cook, önsözünde de belirttiği gibi "böyle bir eserin insanlara ulaşabilmesi için gereken zahmet, sabır ve direnmeyi çok az kişi kavrayabilir".

Um campo de feno
É difícil imaginar vacas no vale de Yosemite. Mas no final de 1800, cavalos e mulas transportavam turistas para o Vale, enquanto o gado e ovelhas forneciam leite e carne aos hotéis.
Os primeiros pioneiros plantaram colheitas neste prado. Eles também permitiram que seus animais pastassem aqui.
Essas práticas compactaram o solo e danificaram plantas dos prados.
Após as pastagens terem sido eliminadas do vale de Yosemite no final da década de 1920, a vegetação nativa retornou.
Olhando através deste prado hoje, você pode ver gamos se alimentando nos gramados ou coiotes e ratos dos prados.
Cook Out (2,997 square feet)
4300 South Laburnum Avenue, Laburnum Park Shopping Center, Richmond, VA
Opened in January 2014; originally 1989-built Jefferson National Bank, later Wachovia (1998-fall 2008), MoneyMax Title Loans (2009-2012)
It ended up being another KFC-less day, as their location in Glen Lea Centre not only had their doors locked but it seemed that no employees were on site at all! I instead drove a few miles down the road to the Laburnum Park Cook Out, whose dining room has only been reopened since March, if I'm not mistaken. The restaurant occupies an old bank building, but in regards to layout it manages to resemble most purpose-built Cook Out locations of the era, such as this one. The dining room is spread out horizontally across the front end, with restrooms to the right, and unlike their purpose-built locations it has a drop ceiling. All original decorative elements are still in place, only replacing the chairs within the last three-four years. While KFC may have been my intention for the day I'd been wanting to visit this Cook Out anyways so no harm done!

Description: Group on Lookout Mountain in the Hollywood Hills, November 23, 1913. [Unfortunately, this remarkable place was very short lived. On October 27, 1918 the Lookout Mountain Inn was totally destroyed in a fire. As the L.A. Times explains, the blaze was blamed on "glowing embers left behind by a party of boys having a sausage bake in the Sherman foothills”.] [Same group as in Cook 159.]
