(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."
aka Boundary Peak 182

Having made the hike to Hooker Lake and it's wonderful views of Mount Cook, we lingered a long time by its shores. As a result it was near enough dark by the time we returned to the village. This view looks back towards the foothills of Mount Cook. Our route had been over the patch of light and off towards the middle right of the image.

This year grand marshall for the Chinese New Year Parade was Martin Yan. I was able to find him behind the parade vechicle of the SF mayor. Yan is renowned for this culinary show, "Yan Can Cook", on PBS stations. He is seen here wearing a bunny hat while huddling with this year Miss Chinatown.
La baie de Cook est, avec la baie d'Ōpūnohu, l'une des principales baies de Moorea, une île de Polynésie française. Elle est située dans le nord de l'île. Elle est nommée d'après l'explorateur britannique James Cook qui passa sur l'île en 1777.

My take on lemons and limes. Much thanks to decadent cookie and Cookie Artisan. I could have and would have made this much harder than it had to be without your photos!
Just near Mt Cook village was this view. It reminded me of the scenes from the second Lord of the Rings movie. It just needed some orcs.
Macro Mondays: "Handle"
The handle of my favorite cooking skillet. The handle is 20 cm (8 inches) long and the pan is 25 cm (10 inches) in diameter.
This image is about 7 cm (2.75 inches) on the long edge.

"The three lava flows visible from this point are from the southwest rift of Mauna Loa. The darker or younger lava flow surrounding this point is from the 1907 eruption and the lighter colored lava down slope is believed to be 750-1,500 years old. The dark flow east of this location is from an 1887 eruption. These three flows are all the 'a'a (rough or clinker) and not pahoehoe (smooth or ropy) lava. The older lava flows are lighter in color and generally have larger 'ohi'a lehua trees.
If you look closely you will find few 'ohi'a lehua trees growing in the 1907 flow"
The return leg of 'The Bluebell Railway' tour crosses Cooks Pond Viaduct at Dormans Park, just north of East Grinstead. Taken from the public footpath here through the palisade fence, the portrait composition to include as much of the reflection as possible. Locomotives are Class 73s 73119 'Paul Taylor' & 73128 'Kent and East Sussex Railway' with 66792 'Collaboration'. The train would run to Acton Lane sidings where the 73s would detach, the 66 taking the train alone from there back to Nottingham.
