Stewart Covered Bridge
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 21 April 2009 in Architecture.
Built in 1930, this 60 foot (18.3 meter) bridge of the Howe truss type spans Mosby Creek in Lane County, Oregon, USA. It no longer carries vehicular traffic.
Note the graffiti and the sign indicating that video surveillance is in use. So far, this is the only old covered bridge I've found to be thus disrespected. Although as I've mentioned, arsonists have tried to burn the Chambers Railroad Bridge.

Another splendid building of the thirties.
Did somebody put a graffitti on the left wall? What a pity!

I like the POV on this one to include the foundations as well

Like your POV as well the tones here, Steve. But such a pity about the grafitti.

We see this place under numerous angles, but it's always so surprising.

Great composition! I love the B&W. It amazes me that some people have so much disrespect for things and other people that they would vandalize like that!

yes, I noticed the graffiti immediately. I like the angle you took this from. What a great series. I'd expect to see something like this series as a feature in a gallery.

They say Size matters..... and this one seems to be a bit short Steve. But still a wonderful impression of the bridge. Next.

Strong B&W is a good choice. Of course we can see the graffiti...What's a pitty... may be they could have clean it... and after put under video surveillance...
