Captain Cook's Monument

Went round the world a couple of times, did a great deal of mapping and discovery, got murdered after aggravating the locals in Hawaii. Up on Easby Moor, there's a big old monument to the fellow. It's a popular spot for walkers, commanding as it does spectacular views of the Tees valley to the west and, to the south, the Cleveland Hills. Naturally, I didn't take any pictures of the monument itself. http://flic.kr/p/egGxX1 http://flic.kr/p/egANvz http://flic.kr/p/egAPs8 http://flic.kr/p/egGzN7 http://flic.kr/p/egGAiU Enjoy.

How can It BE that an army of field manicurists hit the mowers/all fields at, say 7 am daily? (If there are any ... helter-skelter/uncoiffed plats ... I haven't seen a one. Have you?) I so confused. Is this the Same Planet? IS "U.K." actually in one of those parallel dimensions --where visitors pass through a space-warp, maybe at Heathrow, on first espying below: Cars driving on the Wrong-side of the road?
