Rochester Covered Bridge
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 19 July 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.
Built in 1933, this 80 foot (24.4 meter) bridge of the Howe truss type spans Calapooya Creek in Douglas County, Oregon, USA. It has a 5 ton (4.5 metric ton) load limit. Please note the curved top windows in this bridge.
Part of the Covered Bridges of Oregon series.

These blend so well with the landscape . . even if they had no purpose, they would still be an asset !

A fine picture of this bridge with the attractive windows. The raised roadway approaching the bridge must have been quite a project too. Very fine image.

this is still likely my favourite series of your shots. I keep telling my husband about them -- he's so curious but still hasn't sat down with me to look at them. I love the way you composed this one and the perspective. The bridge itself is perfectly framed in green.
