"Allow me? I am Captain James Bartholomew Hook, world's most famous crook - captain of the fine mighty Jolly Roger and its crew, honorable pirate, finder of many treasures and killer of the Croco... Okay, who am I kidding.."
For some reason, Disney's Captain Hook was always a favorite of mine. Not really evil, clumsy and funny at times, having his own nemesis in the shape of a comical crocodile - and always being outwitted by Peter Pan. Or clumsy Mr. Smee.
Long story short: I had to build him - in this iconic pose, including the crocodile. It was great fun and a challenge to build at this scale, especially with those limiting colors (I'm talking to you, magenta!).
A pirate contest on Brikkelauget provided me with the perfect opportunity so it had to be done :D
What do you think?
All sluices raised at Penton Hook on the River Thames near Staines during the floods of 2014. Typically, the fall of the lock is 4 feet. At the time I took the picture, there was no difference in the water level either side of the weir. It was "interesting" walking over the weir, feeling the rumble of the water below my feet.
From here on my photostream will get lighter for a while, these are the last few from a great morning exploring with the boy and Rob, cheers guys.
Hook Lighthouse is a unique example of an almost intact medieval lighthouse. It dates from the early 13th century and was a major feat at the time of its construction.Purpose built as a lighthouse, it has served sailors and shipping for 800 years, apart from a short closure during the 17th century. It is thought to be one of the oldest operational lighthouses in the world.
At Hook Head the whole light station has been preserved, not just the tower. Many of the buildings have been modified to accommodate visitors, of which there are many.
