An image I took on Father's Day during a family walk up to Captain Cook's Monument, North Yorks. I'm still test driving my Reality So Subtle 6x12 so this iPhone pic will serve as a record until I develop the roll of film.
I love the mountain biker heading from the monument. If I recall correctly I managed to capture a couple map reading nearing the tree between the posts whilst the pinhole was making an exposure ;-)

James Cook was born in 1728 in the village of Marton in Yorkshire.
He joined the British merchant navy when he was a teenager, later joining Royal Navy in 1755. He saw action in the Seven Years' War and surveyed and mapped most of the entrance to the Saint Lawrence River during the siege of Quebec. This brought him to the attention of the Admiralty and Royal Society, which led to his commission in 1766 as commander of HM Bark Endeavour for the first of three Pacific voyages.
During these voyages he sailed thousands of miles across mainly uncharted areas of the globe. He was responsible for the mapping of lands from New Zealand to Hawaii, on a scale never previously achieved.
As his voyages continued, he surveyed and named features, recorded islands and coastlines on European maps for the first time. He was skilled in seamanship, surveying and cartography, he displayed physical courage, and had an ability to lead men in adverse conditions.
Cook was attacked and killed in 1779 during his third exploratory voyage in the Pacific. It occurred whilst he was attempting to kidnap the Hawaiian chief Kalaniʻōpuʻu, in order to reclaim a cutter which had been stolen from one of his ships.
He left behind a legacy of geographical and scientific knowledge which was to influence his successors over the following centuries. Numerous memorials worldwide have been dedicated to him, including this monument on the cliff top in Whitby, where he started his career at sea.

Also known as Captain Cook's Cottage, this is located in the Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne, Australia. The cottage was constructed in 1755 in the English village of Great Ayton, North Yorkshire, by the parents of Captain James Cook, James and Grace Cook. It is a point of conjecture among historians whether James Cook, the famous navigator, ever lived in the house, but almost certainly he visited his parents at the house.
In 1933 the owner of the cottage decided to sell it with a condition of sale that the building remain in England. She was persuaded to change "England" to "the Empire", and accepted an Australian bid of £800, by Russell Grimwade, as opposed to the highest local offer of £300.
The cottage was dismantled brick by brick and packed into 253 cases and 40 barrels for shipping aboard the motor ship Port Dunedin from Hull. Cuttings from ivy that adorned the house were also taken and planted when the house was re-erected in Melbourne. Grimwade, a notable businessman and philanthropist, donated the house to the people of Victoria for the centenary anniversary of the settlement of Melbourne in October 1934.
The cottage immediately became a popular tourist attraction. In 1978 further restoration work was carried out on the cottage.
This view is taken from the back of the English cottage garden that has been established around the house, further adding to its period reconstruction.
Captain James Cook FRS was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and Captain in the Royal Navy. Cook made three voyages to the Pacific Ocean, during which he achieved the first recorded European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, and the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand. A statue of the great man can be seen on the left.

Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. Its height since 2014 is listed as 3,724 metres, down from 3,764 m before December 1991, due to a rockslide and subsequent erosion. It lies in the Southern Alps, the mountain range which runs the length of the South Island.
