Figured I did the other covered bridge painting I should do this one too. Even though it's a simple structure it was not the easiest. Partly because of the evergreens behind them and the river below. Since I didn't do the oval I added a few more details.

Thank you both. Tom, I have not thought of doing that but maybe sometime I will give it a try. I might do the New York painting Bob did first. I think that'd be a good first one to try.
Serious question. Does anybody know the purpose of a covered bridge? When you walk over a bridge you just want to get to the other side. You don't expect to be able to shelter while you dilly dally or eat your sandwiches.
TLP the original reason for the covered bridges were to protect the bridges trusses / floor boards from decay and rot
ohhh, thanks for that, it's puzzled me for ages. I wonder if that's why they put buildings on piers as well. Anyway, your building is very nicely done, very neat and precise, and I like your twiggy trees also.
Thank you. The book / movie "Bridges of Madison County" is based off the bridges in Madison County, IA. Now they are pretty much just historic sites.
That's interesting, thanks.
