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 ;-)

This view was taken from Mount Cook village right in-front of the exclusive hotel that has clearly been located there for this very reason. Our budget didn't run to such accomodation, but we were content with our campervan. I really was surprised there was just one other couple out that night taking in this view.
Because of the low clouds, we were not able to see Mount Cook (3,754 m), not even a glimpse of any part of it. So having a quick glimpse of the snow on Mount Sefton (3,151 m) was a consolation.

I already posted one take of this by the full-frame camera but I needed this for my food flow series out at McIntosh farm house. The McIntosh Ag Museum was closing for the winter. I went out to the Ag Museum to reshoot inside the farm house, on the last week end of their season. The first time I shot inside, I used the D70 but I did want to repeat some of the shots with the full frame camera. There is always something to find out here, inside and out.
Here is the farm house kitchen Home Comfort stove, opposite the the food prep cupboard. This was a fancy, nickel plated style in the early Twentieth Century. The wife need to keep some nickel polish at hand; she's been slacking on the polish. I see the Black Silk stove polish and the match dispenser. She's badly slacking on the Black Silk too; what does that gal do with all her spare time. Were those usually stored on the stove; I'd find another spot. Wood stoves were common in the kitchen many years ago. Fancy stoves had a lot of extra functions beside the removeable burner plates. Each had an oven for indirect heat baking. A hot water container was usual but I see the big stove kettle. The warmer bins above, along the stove pipe were usual. No hamburger-schlepper meals were prepared here! Papa could drop the oven door where he could park his feet after a cold day of milking cattle. This kitchen was all toast - red hot mama and frozen papa. Mama was at work all day long and she probably had to keep the pets out of the kitchen. There is a loaf of bread in the basket. Next time I will rifle through to verify the veracity of this scene. Ha!
Never forget the exposure timer. It allowed me to sneak from the door lighting.

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.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
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.

Hub 3 for the dedicated bus services from around the city for the Papal Visit was on Cooke Street. Buses operating under route number 913 connected it with Leopardstown and UCD.
SG 390, EV 32 and SG 15 are all seen at the front of the line-up waiting to take people back after the mass in the Phoenix Park. All three buses are based in Donnybrook. 26/08/18

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.
Well, I'm back from Timaru and the Mackenzie Country now. Actually, I got back late last night and pretty much just fell into bed and slept until after lunch time because I was so tired!
I had a wonderful weekend, celebrating some more birthdayness with friends, doing things like building an awesome sandcastle, going to a fundraising dinner, listening to live jazz and going out on the town and dancing until 2. Yesterday was lots of fun too, driving out to Lake Pukaki to do a photoshoot with Han and T (photos posted soon!), having a picnic lunch beside Lake Alexandrina and then soaking in the hot pools at Tekapo. Unfortunately I got really badly burnt and currently resemble a lobster, which is really rather painful.
This is Lake Pukaki with Mount Cook in the distance which I photographed while waiting for Han and T to change into their dresses =)
A rare clear view
"Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. Its height since 2014 is listed as 3,724 metres (12,218 feet)"
L'Aoraki/mont Cook est le point culminant de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Il fait partie des Alpes du Sud et culmine à 3 724 mètres d'altitude, au-dessus du glacier Tasman. Il se situe dans le parc national Aoraki/Mount Cook. Son nom combine depuis 1998 celui de la légende māori et celui rendant hommage à James Cook. Le sommet est gravi pour la première fois en 1894 par Tom Fyfe, George Graham et Jack Clarke. (Wikipedia)
Being "up" felt good. The near side of that canyon was the route, and it was very unstable. There was a sign down near the bottom saying that this was no place for horses and that looked like good advice. Not much of a place for people either, the trail was sketchy at best.
