Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand, reaching 3,754 metres (12,316 ft). It lies in the Southern Alps, the mountain range which runs the length of the South Island. A popular tourist destination, it is also a favourite challenge for mountain climbers. Aoraki / Mount Cook consists of three summits lying slightly south and east of the main divide, the Low Peak, Middle Peak and High Peak, with the Tasman Glacier to the east and the Hooker Glacier to the west.
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.
It's taking long, but luckily I have a lot more time to paint this month till the end of summer. :-) However, the submission ended a few days ago for Sooke Fine Art Show.
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.

Two days ago there was almost 2 feet of snow in the park, 75 degrees yesterday, 65 today.
The end of a day of fishing (almost a year ago), looking out over Cook Inlet, AK. The little tiny dots on the water are fishing boats, and the largest mountain is a more or less inactive volcano.

This and the next two are photos I shot on film in Marrakesh, Morocco a good couple of years ago. Print available on my redbubble page.
Nothing remarkable about this picture but I uploaded it as a final signing off for 40039 which in effect 'cooked itself' on Sunday after a fire at the rear while parked empty above Bretonside bus station. From what I gather the driver got out ok and no passengers were on board thankfully.
Wonder if they will get another B7L down from Somerset as a replacement...
Anyhow so long and RIP to this well travelled Dart.
