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)

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!

Water feature in the Kiosk pond at the Christchurch Botanic Garden. It was a shady area filled with autumnal colours even though it is a bright spring day. The Ducks were enjoying their snooze on the sculpture.
"Diminish and Ascend is by Auckland-based David McCracken. The piece is a 13 metre receding perspective staircase made from aluminium, which has been installed in the Kiosk Lake of the Botanic Gardens.
McCracken's expertly crafted sculpture plays with perspectives, taking into account the visual effects associated with simulating distance. By constructing a modified replica of a staircase that decreases in size as it nears its highest and furthest point from eye-level, it gives off the illusion of an infinite stairway to heaven as the aluminum steps ascend into the clouds without an end in sight.

The iconic Motif #1 was looking handsome in the late afternoon sun today. But I think I like the reflection best!
Motif #1 is one of the most often painted building in America. It is a replica of the original fish shack that was built here in Rockport Harbor in 1840. The original building was destroyed during the Blizzard of '78. This view is timeless, attracting dozens of photographers and painters every day.
A fun fact about Motif #1: The dentist’s office in the popular animated film “Finding Nemo” has a picture of Motif #1 hanging on the wall, a tribute by director Andrew Stanton to his hometown of Rockport.

The Bristol Scout was a successful design from early in WW1. This aircraft is flown by David Bremner who, together with his brother, built this replica in honour of his grandfather who flew Scout no. 1264 during the conflict (and survived!). The aircraft contains a few components of the 1913 original. Seen here at Old Warden aerodrome near Bedford, England.
The Santa Maria Ship & Museum was a museum ship in downtown Columbus, Ohio. The craft was a full-size replica of the Santa María, one of three ships Christopher Columbus used in 1492 during his first voyage to the Americas. The ship was displayed in Columbus from 1991 to 2014, when it had to be relocated due to the Scioto Mile project reshaping the riverbanks. The Santa Maria has sat on a city-owned lot since its relocation.
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. (www.japan-guide.com/e/e2040.html)
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)
