Replica of the Hotel del Salto, Colombia designed by Jade K.oltai
A hotel built in 1923 by a French architect with a view of a waterfall, being also the discharge of the sewers of Bogota in Colombia. Other legends haunt this place.
HMS Endeavour, also known as HM Bark Endeavour, was a British Royal Navy research vessel that Lieutenant James Cook commanded to Australia and New Zealand on his first voyage of discovery from 1768 to 1771. (Wiki)
This replica is anchored in Whitby, where James Cook began his three major voyages.. Firstly on the Endeavour then the Adventure and Discovery... (another ship Cook commanded was the Resolution)
She (the Endeavour) departed Plymouth in August 1768, rounded Cape Horn, and reached Tahiti in time to observe the 1769 transit of Venus across the Sun. She then set sail into the largely uncharted ocean to the south, stopping at the Pacific islands of Huahine, Borabora, and Raiatea to allow Cook to claim them for Great Britain. In September 1769, she anchored off New Zealand, the first European vessel to reach the islands since Abel Tasman's Heemskerck 127 years earlier. (Wiki)
The Byodo-In Temple, located at the foot of the Ko’olau Mountains in Valley of the Temples Memorial Park, welcomes people of all faiths to worship, meditate or simply appreciate its beauty and history as a non-practicing Buddhist temple. Built in 1963, the Byodo-In Temple is a Hawaii state landmark.
O’ahu’s Byodo-In Temple represents a smaller scale replica of the almost 1,000-year old Byodo-In Temple in Uji, Japan, which is a United Nations World Heritage Site.

A replica of Stephenson’s famous Rocket running on an overcast day at Vintage Trains’ Tyseley works near Birmingham. Rocket was the most advanced steam locomotive of its day. It was built for the The Rainhill Trials in October 1829 to test George Stephenson's argument that locomotives would provide the best motive power for the then nearly-completed Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Five locomotives were entered, but Stephenson's Rocket was the only locomotive to complete the trials and was declared the winner.
The Thinker statue symbolizes philosophy because of its profound pondering and contemplation attitude.
Many thanks for your time, visit and comments - always highly appreciated!

Well, this is certainly a bit of a change for me! It's still a miniature, though, so I guess not so much of a surprise really. It's a pewter replica based on an Anglo-Saxon (7th Century) helmet, which was found in 1939 at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk. When it was excavated it was in hundreds of rusty pieces, but it was painstakingly reconstructed. The original was made of iron, bronze, tin, gold, silver and garnets. How I would LOVE to have seen it then.
If you're wondering about the scale, this replica is 1" high.

In my new hometown of Albury, NSW, Australia this aircraft - the oldest DC2 in the world - a replica to the KLM Uiver that crash landed in the town in 1934 whilst competing in the London-Melbourne Air Race.
Read the remarkable story here - I've lived here for only a year and the story sends chills down my spine.
Unfortunately this plane is up for sale and will likely move away from it's resting ground at the Albury Airport due to incredibly expensive housing costs. I had to get this shot before it goes and the night I received my 5D Mark III, I did just that!

Many restaurants in Japan display plastic or wax replicas of their dishes in a window near their entrance. These replicas serve both to entice and inform patrons of the restaurant's menu and tend to offer an accurate, visual description of the style and price of meals found inside. The displays are especially helpful for foreign tourists who do not read and speak Japanese. For if all other forms of communication fail, you can go outside and point to what you want to order.

Plastic food replicas appear in the windows and display cases of establishments which serve food throughout Japan. Once made from wax, today they are usually made out of plastic. The plastic models are mostly handmade from polyvinyl chloride and carefully sculpted to look like the actual dishes. The models are custom-tailored to restaurants and even common items such as ramen will be modified to match each establishment's food. During the molding process, the imitation ingredients are often chopped up and combined in a manner similar to actual cooking. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fake_food_in_Japan)
