This bridge had the same caption as the first, but they are obviously different bridges. So which one is where, I wonder.

These are just the tip of the iceberg, as they say. The ones with A as their first letter in the labels I gave them. Unfortunately I've at least as many without any names at all...and I'm trying to see if they are photos of the other named photos. So this is all for now.

About the writing life, Margaret Atwood says: “You most likely need a thesaurus, a rudimentary grammar book, and a grip on reality. This latter means: there’s no free lunch. Writing is work. It’s also gambling. You don’t get a pension plan. Other people can help you a bit, but essentially you’re on your own. Nobody is making you do this: you chose it, so don’t whine.”

This advice is quite similar to the pursuit of the arts.
...I have photographed a number of covered bridge and I wish that the results were like these!
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear...I hope you'll share your photos (though I think you did a few years back.)
DeleteHello barb,
ReplyDeleteThe covered bridges are treasures. I always love to find them in my travels.
Take care, enjoy your day!
They are often off the beaten path...so real treasures to find!
DeleteIt has been said that no one can make a living as a full-time writer in Canada except for Margaret Atwood.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she thinks so, but I'm a big Louise Penny fan...Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is one of my heroes.
DeleteYes, she probably makes a full income too!
DeleteLike lighthouses, covered bridges always seem to appeal to us.
ReplyDeleteVery important functions, and interesting engineering and building...at least in my appreciation of them.
DeleteWe have or had a single covered bridge in NJ which we made a special trip to see. I'm not sure it survived heavier traffic and being hit by trucks, sigh. It was designed for horse drawn carriages.
ReplyDeleteThose which survive (or are rebuilt) have to be removed from use of traffic.
DeleteWe have one near me that is still used by traffic, however, it was rebuilt some years ago after a fire. At that time, the highway department went ahead and reinforced it. So I guess the disaster (possibly vandalism) saved it in the long run.
ReplyDeleteI’ve posted it before. I might go back to Mount Jackson and photograph it again.
I'm quite envious. The closest covered bridge I've found in NC is about a hundred miles (maybe exaggerated) away in Uwharrie National Forest sort of north of Charlotte. It's in the middle of nowhere, and I did take photos, but don't know where they are in all my files. It will be a nice surprise to find them someday!
DeleteReminds me of the movie The Bridges of Madison County... We don't have covered bridges like that here (or at least I've never seen or heard of one).
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I wonder where they first came from.
DeleteFantastic.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to gather up other's good photography for sharing here!
DeleteSuch iconic images!
ReplyDeleteThey are really beautiful. I think of calendar pictures, which I used to hang on a wall.
DeleteI found a list of all the covered bridges left in my state in a book for bicyclers when I worked at our local libary. We spent a summer (long ago) visting them all. I think just a few were still driveable. I do NOT like driving on them - they are very bumpy and make noises like they are collapsing. I don't do roller coasters either. #sissy
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting pursuit! Sorry driving a bike on one is not pleasant though. I've walked across at least the one I found in NC, for which the photo are missing now.
