Pâte brisée tart shell filled with tomato custard and garnished with fresh tomatoes and basil. At first I was dubious about blending sauteed tomato puree with eggs, but the result was very delightful. Recipe from Michel Richard's Happy in the Kitchen
The adminstration building at James Cook University, which has a medieval castle feel to it. I love the swish window awnings.
Rhyolite, Nevada is a famous ghost town near Death Valley. A gold strike in 1904 started a gold rush and Rhyolite boomed. Growth was amazing. The Cook Bank building was built for $90,000 and had Italian marble floors, two vaults, indoor plumbing, electric lights, and running water. There was a school for 250 kids, a symphony, hospital, baseball teams, and an ice cream parlor to name just a few amenities. The city died quickly. A financial panic in 1907 was the beginning of the end and mines started to close. Cook bank closed in 1910 and electricity to the town was finally turned off in 1916.
This photo is from 2001 and continues my ghost town series scanned from my old slides.

First Lieutenant James Cook made this his second landing on his first voyage to New Zealand on 23 Oct 1769 after going ashore at Poverty Bay (Gisborne).
"After passing and naming Cape Kidnappers, Bare Island, and Blackhead, he got as far south as abreast of Cape Turn-again. As the appearance of the country did not lead him to suppose he would come on any harbour he decided there to turn round and proceed north again in search of a watering-place. At length he reached Anaura Bay, which he called “Tegadoo,” and the ship's boats were sent ashore for water. A heavy swell was running, and little water was taken off. The natives at Anaura explained that water could be easily got at the next bay south, which Cook afterwards called “Tolaga.”
The romantic cove now known as “Cook's Cove” was the first spot in New Zealand where the voyagers had any luck at all. Fresh water and firewood were badly wanted. At Poverty Bay the water in the river was brackish and undrinkable, and, the natives being hostile, no wood was obtained. At Anaura, as I have just mentioned, the surf beat so high on the beach that little water was taken off, and impressions there were not of the best. At Tolaga a smooth landing was found in the cove, and the necessities required were procurable. The natives were friendly, and the civilian scientists of the expedition were enabled to carry out their researches in this new pasture without molestation.
