Covered Bridge by grannysue

Covered Bridge

We took a road to town that I had not traveled on in over 20 years. This covered bridge was a pleasant surprise to find in this part of Texas. It is over a very deep ravine. This is the best shot that I could get due to the growth of trees, bushes and weeds. You can not cross this bridge unless you have a key to the lock. There are some realtor signs posted to the side, looks like something is for sale across the bridge. Further down there is an opening in the trees and I plan on going back to take photos of the ravine.
Thank you for viewing and commenting, I appreciate it.
This was taken on June 20, but I am posting it on the page for the 19th.
What an interesting looking bridge. Can't wait to see the other shots you get.

Nice perspective! Is this South Fork? Is that a TV camera on the roof? LOL! JR Ewing is coming back, ya know?! I love Maj. Nelson! Ha ha!

@lyno Thank you!
@clmiller It is the first one I have seen in Texas.
@marlboromaam LOL! There probably was a camera somewhere around there. The thing on the roof looks like some kind of solar panel. Not South Fork - it was west of Fort Worth. We did see a couple of
VERY nice ranch houses and ranches out there.

Beautiful and unique covered bridge Linda! I don't recall ever seeing a bridge made out of wooden beams and the support beams covered with stone. Great find!

The only time I have seen a bridge like this was in the film The Bridges of Maddison County. They are rather special!

Absolutely gorgeous capture and beautiful scene. Love your pov and the colors and the textures.

Have seen some more of those bridges on 365 and love them all.
I think it`s something special USA.
Why is it close by a gate ?

What a very cool looking bridge and it does look like a camera above. Nice photo, Linda.

I love covered bridges. Great spotting. Can you cross it?

Covered bridges have always fascinated me. For some reason they look slightly mysterious. I don't really know why people would build such bridges; I mean, what's the point of having a roof on a bridge? Could the structure be sturdier that way?

You have my attention. I want to see more... ;-p
