One of the few coverd bridges left in New Brunwick.

This view of the interior of the bridge shows how well it has been constructed. See more bridges at San Francisco Bay Daily Photo.

I love covered bridges. We once spent a weekend in Vermont in search of these beauties. It was a fun scavenger hunt.
ReplyDeleteNice bridge -- we have a few covered bridges in Lane County Oregon (where we are for the summer and where we used to live). I will have to try to get some pictures. Don't think they're as nicely built tho.
ReplyDeleteI love your banner line'no place is boring if you have your camera'. I sure found that to be true on our roadtrip. Goes a lot faster with the digital -- and the goal of looking for picture ops.
That's a very neat covered bridge. I still need to go visit New Brunswick one of these years.
ReplyDeleteLooks New England!
ReplyDeleteIs this where you were hiding for the last few weeks? nice bridge, not enough of them around.
ReplyDeleteYou are right Lesley. Went to the Cabot Trail and temperatures went only up to 12 Celsius and the rain kept coming down almost every day.
ReplyDeleteThey're very fascinating. The inside structure is incredible.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, the construction details are very much like a bridge I once photographed in California's Gold Country but the environment is very different.
ReplyDeleteHow sad that so many covered bridges are now gone. This is such a great link to the past.
ReplyDeleteInteresting photos. Why did they make covered bridges? I've never seen a covered bridge in Australia (many of our older rural bridges are wooden but uncovered).
ReplyDeleteOne reason for covered bridges was to keep the snow off in the winter. Another and maybe the main reason was because they were made from wood and covering them protected their structural, thus extending their life.
