Wehr's Covered Bridge

[tesarver]

Today an the way home from work, I stopped by the Wehr Covered Bridge for images for today's blog. In 1862, Ephraim Sieger built a stone gristmill on the north bank of the Jordan, and the bridge became known as Sieger’s Covered Bridge. After several owners, the mill was sold to William Wehr, and the bridge eventually was named Wehr’s Covered Bridge. Wehr’s Bridge, which was built in the Burr arch truss design.

Here are 3 different versions of the image. The 1st is done w/o the IR Filter & the next 2 w/IR Filter

Re: Wehr's Covered Bridge

Interesting background information Tom, I find the object coming in to the frame on the RHS a bit of a distraction. Why did they construct a covered bridge did the cover serve a purpose I wonder

Re: Wehr's Covered Bridge

Hi Peter. Thanks for commenting. Yes, since the bridges at that time were made of wood, they decided to cover them to protect them from the elements so that the bridge would last longer.
