Following on from my recent upload “Mind The Gap” just as we were about to saddle up and move on to the next location on Dartmoor, Horace came scurrying out of the woods and informed me that he had found some interesting rocks further up the River Dart.
Up the three of us go and this scene greeted us. It was tricky setting up with one leg of my three legged friend in the fast flowing river, so I tethered myself to Hoof, and a few shots were bagged.
Off to the next location, Hoof suggested we stop at The Tavistock Inn just up the hill from here. He thought it would be rude just to ride on by without saying hello, as this is where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, who stayed at the Inn while he wrote 'Hound Of The Baskervilles', and of course as you know Hoof was heavily involved in the film version.
However, a couple of hundred yards from the pub there was a lot of traffic backed up. Bear in mind a lot of the roads in this area are very narrow so we waited and waited.
I decided to dismount as did Horace and we went to see what was causing the tailback, this bit you cannot make up (if ever) there were six of the biggest meanest looking moorland bullocks just sat across the road chewing their cud, I just had to laugh, though other people did not see it so funny, the age we live in !
People who are familiar with Hoofs background will know that he is ex Blues and Royals and was mainly involved in intelligence gathering but he has had some training in negotiation skills plus he speaks fluent cow, so he came forward and started to talk to this group of hooligans, well even with his softly softly catch ye cow skills this organised gang of highly trained bullocks were going nowhere, a real stand off situation had developed.
Now there was traffic backing up towards Dartmeet in one direction and Ashburton the other.
With that Horace came rushing out of the Tavistock Inn, I thought hell Horace don’t you even think about having a tear up with this lot, but the next sequence of events were incredible. Horace found himself a comfortable piece of granite to sit on and started reading these challenging beasties a story (Hoof had taught Horace to read and be multi lingual)
Well Horace had not been there more than a few minutes and these bullocks took off like a Top Gun Pilot on a mission.
Horace was greeted with a huge round of applause from all the angry motorists.
So in the pub I said to Horace what did you read to them my boy, oh he said I found a copy of Mary Berry’s cookbook in the pub and I read them some story of how to make a beef casserole, plus I showed them a jar of mustard, they knew I meant business.
I will leave you with this thought, why do cows wear bells,
Because their horns don’t work.
Thank you so much for viewing, as always your comments are so appreciated🐎🐷🙈🍺🍺🍺😂😂
A sudden sand typhoon raised on the side of the road I was driving, on the way from Eilat to Mitzpe ramon.
It was very high (as you can see by the electric stands). It was over in less than 30 seconds and I noticed a few more of these, but much smaller rising around me. It was impressive and strange, but wasn't frightening in any way. It seemed harmless.

When the night has come, and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we will see
No, I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me ~♥~

Hoober Stand is a 30-metre-high (98 ft) tower and Grade II* listed building on a ridge in Wentworth, South Yorkshire in northern England. It was designed by Henry Flitcroft for the Whig aristocrat Thomas Watson-Wentworth, Earl of Malton (later the 1st Marquess of Rockingham) to commemorate the quashing of the 1745 Jacobite rebellion. It lies close to his country seat Wentworth Woodhouse. Its site is approximately 157 metres (515 ft) above sea level and from the top there are long-distance views on a clear day. Hoober Stand is one of several follies in and around Wentworth Woodhouse park; the others include Needle's Eye and Keppel's Column.

I was recently going through, cleaning up my hard drive when I found this photo unprocessed. I had processed a very similar image so I about to flag this to be deleted. I think this is a good reason to keep your images for a while. This image, I think now is a substantially better composition and I’m glad I was paying attention.
