The Photographers' Corner - 2021 to ?

[explanade]

Yeah, we paid at least that. It’s definitely a location thing, although our room was nice. The overall property was very nice and the restaurant was superb. Much nicer than the Old Faithful Inn or even the Many Glacier Hotel (but that’s in the best location ever!). But it’s downright cheap compared to places like the Jenny Lake Lodge (Tetons) and Moraine Lake Lodge (Banff). Those run over $1k/night! But we justify staying in those places because we avoided the purchase of an RV. We’re still way ahead by that score!

Rationalization - the easiest path to a clear conscience.

I think it’s the exclusive concessions granted to these lodgings at national parks. It prevents overdevelopment but limits the supply of accommodations leading to high prices. I wonder if the Park Service gets a percentage of revenues.

The properties I’m referring to are owned and operated by the National Park Service, at least the ones in the U.S. are, like the El Tovar, Many Glacier and Jenny Lake Lodge. I’m not sure about the Moraine Lake Lodge in Canada.

Authentic soda fountain bar in the 5 & Dime in Asheville, NC. The store sells arts and crafts these days; but still supports a functional dinner with post war furnishings. We were there before they opened.

This is a female red-bellied woodpecker. On the males, the red cap goes all the way from the neck to the beak. Your first shot was the male so you ca see the difference.

Sure, I was just wondering as you didn't have very much history mentioned with the photo.

Either a 1930 or 31 Ford Model A couple. Lovely car and was a big hit when new! (I'm an old car buff !)

i got lots of old car pics and not a lot of knowledge about them so i'm gonna lean on you to keep identifying them if you don't mind. i am learning as we go!
