This charmingly quaint, wooden covered bridge crosses the Green River in Guilford, Vermont and we crossed it many times, as my cousins live on one side of the bridge and my aunt on the other side.
This bridge was built in 1870 and is 104 feet long. I took this image at the end of a two hour bicycle ride on the local dirt roads. We will see more images taken from the bike ride in the next few days.
Best viewed large if you have the time...
P.S. I see that with today's image, my project is 50% complete. I am enjoying this wonderful and supportive community tremendously. My work has definitely improved since joining the project. I changed my project mid-stream as my work priorities have made it impossible to make a daily artistic photograph or even get the camera out daily. So instead, I am doing many photographic series for my project.
One thing I am going to change - I am no longer going to respond to each comment. I appreciate and read each and every comment, but an increased and very stressful work schedule has made it impossible for me to respond to each one. So please do not be upset if I don't thank you for your comments, and please do not feel compelled to thank me for my comments on your work. I read all your comments and believe me, I appreciate each and every one more than you can imagine!
Charming and idyllic - I appreciate your wisdom as how to make the project best fit into your life! I think the series approach is a good idea, as is the handling of comments. Best of luck on the next 50 % ! I am looking forward to it :)
This is really nice.Congratulations on making it beyond half way. Can't blame you for not commenting on every one - its just not practical is it. The important thing is to try to get one a day uploaded. I'm only just managing it right now.... hanging on in there. I'm interested in the covered bridge, such as why did they cover it, are there any more and if so I hope we get to see some!
@yrhenwr Thanks, David. Vermont has 106 covered bridges! As to why covered bridges were built, some reckon that the roofs protected the beams from rotting, or from freezing in bad weather. Others say that, since these bridges look like barns, animals would cross without fear. Whatever the reason, these distinctive crossings are a much-loved part of the New England landscape. I will post another image of this bridge next week.
@myautofocuslife@rachelmackenzie@kellc@annbo@sanfil@marieooi@simon0128@paintdipper@cimes1@anazad511@worthitall@netkonnexion@juliakan@dishaparekh176@jgilker Thanks for all the very nice comments, the congrats on getting to 50% and the fav (from Carole). I think I just said I wasn't going to respond to individual comments anymore, so I broke my new rule with the very first image - LOL! I guess never say never. But I seriously do not intend to do much responding to comments on my own images anymore, other than the odd one or two. I will save my comments for all of your wonderful collective work! Looking forward to the next 50%.
@soboy5 - I totally agree with you Danny. It's a great decision, that even if it is hard to take, we must do. I would love to have the time to write back to each person, but that would be a full time job.. I have been trying to respond mostly to special comments or questions. Congrats on your half-way of the project. I really enjoying seeing your pictures.
@anazad511 definatley what I do! no way would I ever get done if I responded to everyone personally, I would rather see their work and respond on their photo. I respond directly on a photo of the person that commented on mine...that gives them whatever monkey points it is to help get them to PP, just by my commenting on their work...along with FAVs of the ones that really stand out..after that I check the homepage of the ones I follow and comment on any that stand out of the ones that had not commented on mine for the day.
