Covered bridges are symbolic of a time in our nation's history when life was simpler, and travel was limited to horse and buggy or horseback or just plain walking. Many of these old buildings dot the landscape along roads that are out of the mainstream of traffic. I used to think that New England was the main area for finding covered bridges but they can show up in many of our states. Remember the movie "The Bridges of Madison County?" Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep brought attention to a set of covered bridges in the mid-west through their romantic story. Some of these structures are sill in use today though limited to light weight traffic. Others are strictly for looking at or at best for walking through. Such photogenic buildings allow us a brief flight of fancy back to a time when life was less complicated than it is today. This small painting is avaiable by contacting the artist. Enjoy!
