Spend a few minutes each day being grateful for what you have and who you have to share it with.
Always amazes me why a 'covered' bridge..when all the rest of the roads are in the open?...Respite from the weather, perhaps?..
anyhoo, it a cracker of a shot at a good angle too!..

"Silk Road" where they carried silk on donkey's backs in China :) Lovely shot of this beautiful bridge Cindy. I am always fascinated by these covered bridges - You don't see them at all here.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
Just beautiful, Cindy. Covered Bridges rank right up there with old barns in my eyes. Excellent angle and colors and that sky adds so much drama to this shot. Excellent all the way around. Contest entry?I think it would be a great one.
Indiana has a Covered Bridge Festival that always starts on the 2nd Friday of October in Parke County, IN. Parke County has 31 covered bridges and is known as the Covered bridge capital of the world.
" In the 1800's covered bridges were practical due to the abundance of virgin timber and were covered to protect the floorboards. Another reason the bridges were covered is the fact that the horses did not like to cross the open bridges where they could see and hear the rushing water. The bridges were covered and, you will notice, the entrances look like that of a barn. The horses would enter willingly. Covered bridges were known as "kissing bridges" as courting couples were prone to stop and steal a kiss before leaving the bridge. " From the Parke County Indiana tourism bureau .

I would travel only by horse, if I had the choice. ~ Linda McCartney ~
I can see Clint Eastwood sitting up his camera and maybe the note on the corner of the bridge... Lovely pic with all the colors and contrasts!

These bridges really fascinate me - why are they covered ?
This is a super shot of this one with the clouds an added bonus.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
WOW! and double WOW!! This is absolutely gorgeous, Cindy. I love old covered bridges, and this one is a doozie. You have made it into a masterpiece of a shot.

I love those covered bridges, they can be very safe from a sudden rain. Wonderful shot, Cindy.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
Great Shot Cindy - of course, the subject is wonderful, but you've done a great job here. Love that sky also.
