Day hike through the Hooker Valley. I was lucky that the sun was already lower when I arrived at my destination. The sight of the mighty mountain is breathtaking.
Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand, with 3,724 m (12,218 ft).
This is an older shot from one of my airport shootings. I really like it there. Lots of opportunities.

In 1772 Captain Cook set off in the Resolution, accompanied by the Adventure, for what was to be a three-year voyage. In January 1773 the expedition crossed the Antarctic circle, probably the first ever to do so. Soon after, the Adventure anchored in Adventure Bay, Bruny Island/lunawanna-allonah.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
Seen from the more traditional angle across from Lake Pukaki. Mount Cook / Aoraki lies in the Southern Alps in the South Island of New Zealand. Mt Cook / Aoraki is the tallest mountain in New Zealand at a height of 3,724 m. Unfortunately the weather gods kept the sun at bay and caused a light breeze. However, I'd like to think that I still managed a respectable image. Hope you will enjoy this one!
Rather than using the traditional landscape lens I used my 85mm portrait lens which brings the distant mountains in a bit closer.
The setting sun catches the side of the vertical retort building (1932) at the site of the old Launceston Gas Company. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launceston_Gasworks
In 1826 Launceston, like most cities was running on sperm whale oil for their lamps. But in 1844, Dr William Pugh (a pioneer of anesthetic medicine) produced a means by which he could convert coal into methane gas to light his house. This was an idea that took off quickly around the world and gas companies were formed to mass produce methane gas from coal.
In 1858 the Launceston Gas Company was formed and on 5 April 1860 the city turned on its gas powered street lights for the first time. In 1932 the vertical retort building we see here (where the actual conversion process was carried out) was built. It was a far more efficient and larger means of producing more gas. Most of the coal was actually shipped in from the Hunter Valley and down the Tamar to the wharf directly outside the main entrance to the gasworks.
By the 1970s LPG had become more convenient and a cheaper form of gas and so the conversion processing plant was shut down.
So this is my tribute to yesteryear. Enjoy it while it lasts. It was also part of my personal challenge to only use a 50mm lens.
Night shift cook down at the Texas Tavern, Roanoke . Nikkor -P 105 2.5. With the colors this lens produces, it was an easy choice to leave it as is. This is straight from the camera.
Alaska Range mountains just visible across the Inlet on the horizon, in the fading sunset. Fire Island is in the middle of the Inlet, on the right of the photo.

Construction began in the spring of 1907 in Rhyolite, NV and by 1910 the Cook Bank was closed. The bank was three stories tall and housed the local Post Office in the basement. The inside had marble staircases and all the modern conveniences, like electric lights and indoor plumbing. A financial crisis at the time caused banks across the country to go bankrupt.
Aoraki / Mt Cook reflected in the milk pond flat Lake Pukaki on a very fine late afternoon. I have rarely seen the lake this mirror like.
This is a stitched pano of 6 hand-held portrait images.
Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. It's height, as of 2014, is listed as 3,724 metres. It is situated in the Southern Alps, the mountain range that runs the length of the South Island.
Lake Pukaki is the largest lake in the area, and it proudly shows off New Zealand’s tallest peak, Aoraki/ Mount Cook, from the many lookout points around its shores. The water colour of the lake is a bright turquoise due to glacial flour, made from extremely fine rock particles that have come from the surrounding glaciers. The lake is fed at its northern end by the braided Tasman River, which has its source in the Hooker and Tasman Glacier. When the sun hits the surface of the lake, it reflects off the particles transforming it to a brilliant blue. The combination of the magnificent lake, surrounding peaks and wide open skies are a dream for photographers and pose the difficult challenge of capturing the grandeur of the ever-changing landscape.

Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. It lies in the Southern Alps, the mountain range which runs the length of the South Island. There was a large rock fall in 1991 that turned the summit into a knife-edge ridge and reduced the height of the mountain. collections.tepapa.govt.nz/topic/1362
Portable kitchens are very popular everywhere in Thailand. I found the most delicious soups, barbecues, and salads at such food stalls. All is very fresh prepared and cooked. This one I have seen and captured in Nathon, Koh Samui.

October 10, 1999 finds GBSOA thundering down the hill near Cooks with 6593, 1762, 1761, 1756 and 2054. The WC had done a lot of track work in the area and the hogger was putting that to good use on this fine fall afternoon.
I first saw this scene as I was walking Cook's Meadow without my camera. I liked the way the shadows darkened the foreground and let my eye move easily across the view to the far granite walls. I noted the time and returned the next morning at the same time. I was lucky to also find some clearing clouds to add to the scene.
Dear all,
As this is a recycled account, I may have unfollowed you by mistake during housekeeping. Please follow me again and sorry for that.
