After two days of clear weather in our stay in Mount Cook Village the bad weather building up on the western side of the mountain range started to finally creep over.
I stepped out side at 11pm and saw the clouds starting to form illuminated by a full moon, too exhausted from our long day to go anywhere I decided to get a quick shot the other side of the road as cars leaving the closing venues in the village drove by.
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.

A calm morning on the shores of Lake Pukaki in the Mackenzie district. With not a cloud in the sky, I wasn't inclined to be using my wide angle, so I stuck the 70-200 on and tried something else.
Visible in the distance is Mt Cook/Aoraki, New Zealand's highest peak.
擁有飽滿的爆發力，酷味十足的搖滾型男David Cook，成功於「美國偶像 American Idol」第七季脫穎而出，隨即發揮銳不可檔的驚人實力，打破全美告示牌多項紀錄，11首比賽中演繹的歌曲全數挺進流行單曲榜，同時成為Nielsen Soundscan自1991年統計以來，在當週百大榜中擁有最多歌曲的超級新人王，憑藉14首新歌齊發，勝出邦喬飛在2007年所保持6首熱門下載榜的風光佳績。庫克朝著音樂夢想加速前進，同替Post-Grunge版圖劃下新世代強勢音浪。
出生於德州休斯頓的庫克，從小就顯露對音樂的才華，國小二年級開始在學校耶誕節和懇親會上獻唱，擔任餘興節目的主秀演出。進階中學之後，庫克更參加了多齣音樂劇，奠定許多紮實的根基。於1999至2006年間，擔任地下樂團Axium主唱兼吉他手，曾入選美國獨立樂團競賽15強之一，並拿下2004年堪薩斯市的最佳隊伍，經過四張專輯洗禮，最終仍步上解散的命運。2006年發行個人自製大碟《Analog Heart》，雖然沒有資金宣傳，卻因美國偶像的曝光，成為亞馬遜網站上「最暢銷MP3專輯榜」冠軍。RCA唱片公司的執行總裁Tom Corson形容庫克︰「他是多才多藝的歌手，對音樂有著敏銳洞悉力，一位天生的藝術家、真正的明星。」
首張同名專輯《David Cook》請到葛萊美加冕的搖滾樂界超級製作大師Rob Cavallo（年輕歲月、艾拉妮絲莫莉賽特、珠兒）操盤。暖身作品〈The Time Of My Life〉，直奔Billboard流行榜Top3+熱門下載榜冠軍，闖出美國偶像第2季以來銷量最好的成果；陸續擔任Soundgarden和Audioslave經典樂團核心人物的Chris Cornell，與加拿大籍全方位才子Brian Howes（Daughtry、Hinder）聯手撰寫之〈Light On〉，深獲Entertainment Weekly好評道：「聽過兩遍就能深刻的印記腦海，很有可能成為主流大熱門」，直接空降Top17位置；包覆耐聽順暢音符的〈Life On The Moon〉，宣洩如同Creed、Nickelback等團標準美國正夯的Post-Grunge曲式；不讓Daughtry專美於前的散發自信和絕對魅力之〈Lie〉、〈Avalanche〉，倚著滄桑沉穩的嗓音，快速蔓延過耳不忘的感染力；〈Permanent〉則是加入鋼琴+弦樂淒美協助的感人抒情小品。庫克難以掩蓋的耀眼光芒，外加堅持對搖滾的極度熱誠，早已準備好站上國際舞台大展身手一番！
我喜歡他翻唱MIMI的"Always be My Baby"

Mt Cook/Aoraki, the highest mountain of New Zealand was in distance, with braided Tasman River flowing through the frame.
Views, including Aoroki Mt Cook, the highest point in New Zealand, seen while out walking in Mt Cook National Park. Until 2014, its height was officially listed as 3,754 metres, but new measurements have given a revised height of 3,724 metres (12,218 ft). It lies in the Southern Alps, the mountain range which runs the length of the South Island.
Aoraki/Mt. Cook reflected in Hooker Lake at sunset. Mt. Cook is the tallest mountain in New Zealand at 3,724 meters (12, 218 feet).
I've spent the last 5 months studying abroad here in New Zealand. My semester is wrapping up now but I still have about 6 weeks left to travel in this amazing country.
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.
