The RRS James Cook is a British Royal Research Ship operated by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). She was built in 2006 to replace the ageing RRS Charles Darwin with funds from Britain's NERC and the DTI's Large Scientific Facilities Fund. She is named after Captain James Cook, the British explorer, navigator and cartographer.
Her maiden scientific voyage, on 5th March 2007, was to study a hole in the Earth's crust revealing the mantle below.
She is seen here on a recent visit to Cape Town moored at Quay 6 of the V&A Waterfront. In the background (just partly visible) at the Passenger Terminal is the lighted up Luxury passenger liner 'Silver Wind'. Unfortunately I had no tripod for this capture. I also had to crop the left hand side quite severely as their was a couple who posed and tried to get into the photo! :-)

Point Cook Homestead..
In 1853 the pastoralist Thomas Chirnside added the farmlands of Point Cook to his holdings. He built the famous Point Cook Homestead of twenty-five rooms in 1857. Initially Point Cook was an important segment of the expanding pastoral empire established by Thomas and his brother Andrew. As their extensive land holdings were developed substantial homesteads were later constructed at Werribee Park, Carranballac, Mount Williams and Curnong..
.
Due to the Chirnside brothers' deep interest in hunting, deer and foxes were introduced to Point Cook in the 1850s. As early as 1859 members of the Melbourne Hunt Club and the Geelong & District Hunt Club were invited to hunt at Point Cook. In the early 1860s Thomas Chirnside imported valuable horses for the breeding at Point Cook. The property was said to have three racetracks. The Chirnsides became one of Victoria's prominent pastoral families, entertaining the colonial gentry and organising sporting functions for their guests at Point Cook.

The remains of the Cook bank building, Rhyolite ghost town, Nevada. The town was founded on gold rush hopes in 1905, saw a peak of about 4,000 people, and was dead by 1920. The place is now public land administered by the BLM. If you're a U.S. citizen this place belongs to you. Enjoy.

This here is my boy Cookie, AKA: Cook Dog. He's an old dog and has been going through some rough times in the health department. He's been on medication and has actually been great over the past few weeks. It's great because for a few says there it didn't look like he was going to make it. We just hope his recent comeback lasts a while.
Okay, so in the July ABC's I'm playing catch up and am going to cheat a little and put 'C' and 'D' in one picture. Shoot me...

To add to your experience of dining by the sea, we suggest a walk along the point to enjoy an unparalleled view of the world’s only Cribstone bridge. The bridge was built in 1927 and entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and a National Civil Engineering Landmark. The bridge was rebuilt in 2009-2011 to hopefully withstand another 85 years of ceaseless motion and exposure. [Cook's website]

The Thomas Cook building in Gallowtree Gate, Leicester was commissioned by his son, John Mason Cook, and opened in 1894 next to the company’s existing offices. It was both a memorial to Cook himself, who died two years earlier, and a more suitable base for the travel business, which had grown from modest beginnings to employ over 2,000 people worldwide. The architects were the local firm of Goddard, Paget and Goddard, and it was built by Hardington and Elliott of Leicester. It is listed Grade II.

Long a favorite for Saturday lunchtime dinners after shopping in Ridley Road. Pie and mash for me with that secret liquor. My sister liked the eels cut up live. Ugh!
This is said Mussels all cooked and ready to eat! Honestly I can't believe how quickly they were gone! Just did the classic spring onion, shallot, cream, white wine and parsley to finish. All shot with my favourite Bowens Gemini 400's through a beauty dish with the white cover to the right front and a big reflector for fill on the left front.
