Starting out with miscellaneous bridges which I didn't have names for their files.
Sharing with Tom's Tuesday's Treasures!
Inside the pedestrian bridge at Old Salem Village, NC. which just goes over a road below.
Covered Bridge Mountain Air Country Club - Burnsville, NC, by Yurko Design and Architecture, Asheville NC
What? Burnsville is near where I live in Black Mountain! Can I go see it?
OK, first it's a private country club. They do have a FaceBook page, and my mouth dropped open at all that happens there. Arrival via private plane or helicopter is perfectly fine on the runways. No photos of this tiny little bridge among all the others posted. So I'll keep it in my collection as memorabilia, but doubt that I can go find it in person, if it even exists still.
Cox Ford Bridge, Parke County, Indiana
East Hill Bridge over the Flatrock River, Rushville Indiana

“Every particular in nature, a leaf, a drop, a crystal, a moment of time is related to the whole, and partakes of the perfection of the whole. Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
When I posted a picture of Tiananmen Square's student protest yesterday, I was acknowledging that the Chinese young people at that time had learned what a democracy was...somehow in a communist state.
The autocracy now moving through the USA wants to change the history being taught to our children. Please make efforts to keep accurate history in our schools, so we don't miss learning about democracy compared to those Chinese almost 40 years ago.
I'm not sure why, but covered bridges seem to hold a fascination for most people, me included. I like the one with the flower boxes.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice homey touch, isn't it!
DeleteQuaint bridges over non-troubled waters for the most part. 🙂
ReplyDeleteYou remind me of the Simon and Garfunkel tune now...not a bad earworm for today. It will replace the one I've had since watching an intergenerational zoomed church service Sunday!
DeleteBarbara, glad you found photos of the Cornish- Windsor Bridge. It's owned by NH because the state line is on the western bank of the Connecticut River. The river is all in NH. You've found quite an assortment of bridges. Here in my town there are two more: one still in use and the other not.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you take photos and share your two covered bridges, Marcia!
DeleteI like the seasonal ones from Lancaster County and Vermont. Calendar worthy.
ReplyDeleteI imagine when we used to all have a picture calendar on our walls that these photos were definitely used for that purpose! In a few generations that term will probably be as archaic as drainboards and ice boxes.
Delete...Barbara, these are amazing and now I want to go on a covered bridge hunt!!!
ReplyDeleteSince you live close to some covered bridges (much closer than me at least) please feel free to do so! Thanks for the Kowch paintings today, I really get a kick out of her work!
DeleteWonderful collection of covered bridges. I love them all.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
So glad you enjoyed these photos (all from the internet) and I wish you the same for a good rest of the week.
DeleteLove the Carlin quote We are currently seeing the results of too many people who believe without questioning.
ReplyDeleteOur crowd mentality has been reduced to a rally for a team, where either our team is supposed to win, and the others are sons of the devil, or perhaps we're going to a pop star's concert where we'll be entertained. Thinking for ourselves has become so passe'
DeleteOne summer we did a driving tour of covered bridges in our state. I learned I do not like driving inside a covered bridge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice collection!
