Not the best photo, but such an interesting place. The eastbound Indian Pacific is being serviced at Cook, South Australia in 2001 on my trip across Australia. Cook is located on a stretch of track that extends 297 miles (yes, 297 miles!, or 478 kilometers) without a curve across the Nullarbor Plain. The longest tangent track in the world. A recent census listed Cook's population at 4. I was told that if you traveled north from here, the nearest paved highway is 1100 miles away.
The Tualatin River Keepers did an amazing job restoring the wetlands at Cook Park. Lush growth is a blast to shoot in IR.

The RRS James Cook is a British Royal Research Ship operated by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). She was built in 2006 to replace the ageing RRS Charles Darwin with funds from Britain's NERC and the DTI's Large Scientific Facilities Fund. She is named after Captain James Cook, the British explorer, navigator and cartographer.
Her maiden scientific voyage, on 5th March 2007, was to study a hole in the Earth's crust revealing the mantle below.
She is seen here on a recent visit to Cape Town moored at Quay 6 of the V&A Waterfront. In the background (just partly visible) at the Passenger Terminal is the lighted up Luxury passenger liner 'Silver Wind'. Unfortunately I had no tripod for this capture. I also had to crop the left hand side quite severely as their was a couple who posed and tried to get into the photo! :-)

Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. Its height since 2014 is listed as 3,724 metres (12,218 feet), down from 3,764 m (12,349 ft) 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.

Between East Grinstead and Dormans. Each of the 5 spans of this iron lattice viaduct is 125 feet long. The pond was drained for construction of the viaduct, and was still empty when the line was opened in 1885, but had filled again by 1890. Up train from East Grinstead crossing.

I made these from Wilton to go along with my daughter's castle cake. I was being lazy, but the top decoration should be yellow. cookiecreations.blogspot.com/
It was the location in New Zealand which represented the Lonely Mountain in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy. For the latter half of the Third Age, the Lonely Mountain was the greatest city in Middle-earth. It was located in northeast of Rhovanion and was the source of the River Running. The mountain was named "Erebor" in Sindarin.
