Here’s another attempt by someone hoping to create some kind of tourist attraction.
I took this shot of the big Captain Cook from this angle to show how incongruous it is in it’s location. Totally tacky and completely out of place.
Kind of sad really.
According to another website the land the statue is on has been sold and the statue is up for sale.
Captain Cook is so underrated. I think he “discovered” most of the world! … well except for the people living in those places. He discovered where I was born, but he’d been dead for a long time so I never got to meet him.
May I show my ignorance? When did Captain Cook visit Australia? I’m pitiful. I should just look it up. Ignore me.

Are you from Vancouver?

Go hang your head in shame young lady!
Do they ship to Europe? My thesis advisor would love it. It’s a bit ate for New Year present though…
That is so very sad. When you were in the States, did you ever get to visit South of the Border b/w North & South Carolina on 95? It is a delapidated tourist attraction chock full of statues like this… sniff sniff… I smell a blog post
PS I lost interest in the race blog because it lacked photos. I’m not really that shallow, just a little ADD.
Heil Cook! That should be sent to Vancouver so Ross’ peeps could enjoy it.
O,my. I just looked it up. Head hanging very low.

I’m sure you can have just about anything you want …. if you have the money.

I have been in that general area but I can’t remember if I went down that particular highway or not, and seeing such things, but I wish I had.
By the way, I still don’t know why your comments are still being moderated. Also the link in your name to your blog is incorrect.
It should be http://breathlessmini.wordpress.com/

It is strange pose and I also thought about Hitler when I first saw it. I think it would look “interesting” in Stanley park next to the totem poles.

Just goes to show one can’t know everything.
