Two Bridges is an isolated location in the heart of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, England. It is situated around 2.5 km (1.6 mi) north east of Princetown on the old turnpike road which was built across Dartmoor in the late 18th century (now the B3212). A map dated 1765 suggests the origin of the name, for in those days the road crossed both the West Dart and the River Cowsic, just upstream from the point where they meet, and required two separate bridges.
By 1891, these had disappeared and there was just a single bridge, further downstream, over the West Dart.
Today, however, there are again two bridges on the site, because a more modern structure was added in the 1930s alongside its earlier predecessor. Visitors often mistakenly assume that these are the same two bridges that gave the name to the site.
In the 18th century, Two Bridges was best known for its potato market. The site was no doubt chosen because it is in a central location, and easily accessible on what was then, and still is now, the only usable road across Dartmoor. Some small quarries in the vicinity show that there was also light industry in the area. Those who met and worked in this remote spot were able to gain refreshment and lodging at the Saracen's Head Inn. It was built in 1794 as a coaching inn, and much extended, still stands there today as the Two Bridges Hotel. It continues to be a popular meeting point for tourists and walkers.
The area is also surrounded by prehistoric antiquities, including Bronze age settlements, stone rows and an impressive standing stone, the Beardown Man, situated to the north west. The ancient Wistman’s Wood is a short walk away.
Many famous guests have stayed at Two Bridges Hotel over the years including actress Vivian (Gone With the Wind) Leigh who met her husband at the hotel, HRHs Edward Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII), HRH Prince Charles Prince of Wales, and many others. A small book "Air Like Champagne" which covers the history of the hotel is available to customers at reception.
An old panorama that I got a request for a print of. I had to rework the original photos with what I've learned over the last few years. Much improved.

Halloween Pennant, Male
Males are not territorial, perch near edge of ponds, waiting for incoming females. Mating typically takes place in the morning. Frequently seen perched on weeds in fields as it forages, pivoting with the wind.
Melanerpes aurifrons
A stripe-backed woodpecker of Mexico and Central America, the Golden-fronted Woodpecker reaches the United States only in the brushlands and open woodlands of Texas and Oklahoma.
The Golden-fronted Woodpecker is composed of four subspecies that differ in size, amount of barring on the tail, and the color of the nape, nasal tufts, and belly. Whereas the nape of the form found in Texas and most of Mexico is yellow to orange, it is red on the Yucatan Peninsula and orange farther south. The four forms were formerly considered different species.
The Golden-fronted Woodpecker consumes about as much fruit and nuts as it does insects. In summer in Texas, the faces of some woodpeckers become stained purple from eating fruit of the prickly pear cactus.
The oldest recorded Golden-fronted Woodpecker was a male, and at least 5 years, 11 months old when he was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Texas.

SN Front St., 3:9:73; Engineer Harold Remy and conductor Larry Meredith talk shop inside Alco S1 405 (the former WP 504) as their short train (an empty boxcar pulled from a tire warehouse located at Front and W Streets) treads slowly on Sacramento's Front Street, passing a gasometer while en route to Haggin yard on the north side of town. This segment of track was also used by Central California Traction Co. into the early 1960s. Dave Stanley photo ©2022

While in the Iuka Piggly Wiggly, it kind of made sense to photograph a few other areas of the store besides the hardware aisles, though I didn't get very many more photos. This is looking up from near those tool aisles across the front, over toward the bakery and produce.

I was treated tonight with one of the greatest light show on earth -- and i got a front row seat! Balcony seat that is!
Remains of a building that looks like it could have been a grocery store that is falling apart and has been vacant long enough that the person who people go to for town history was unsure about its history.
Night, near full moon, 180 second exposure, handheld light producing device set to orange, green and some white on the front of the building.

The "Smiling Irishman" is about to leave his used car lot for the last time.
Bob Ryan, 82, whose winsome smile, Kelly green sweater, way with words, low prices and easy payments have lured multitudes of customers to his downtown Louisville car lot for 53 years, is retiring.
"It's gonna hurt," he said. "I've got a lot of memories here."
Ryan, a Cleveland native, built a small used-car empire at Seventh and York streets by doubling as a country disc jockey on Louisville radio stations WKLO and WTMT during the early years of his business -- often doing broadcasts for free in exchange for permission to do live commercials for his car business.
"Be sure and bring $5 with you to the lot," he told listeners in 1961. "Five dollars down and $5 a week is all it takes, and you get a 30-day written guarantee with each and every automobile."
During one of his annual St. Patrick's Day sales, Ryan recalls that he and his staff sold 55 cars in one day -- their all-time record.
