Cedar Covered Bridge
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 11 October 2009 in Architecture.
The original bridge, built in 1883, was destroyed by arson in 2002. This 76 foot (23.2 meter) replica, of the Town Lattice truss type, was dedicated in October, 2004. The original blueprints were used in construction of the replica. It spans Cedar Creek in Madison County, Iowa, USA. It has a 4 ton (3.3 metric ton) load limit.
Part of the Bridges of Madison County series.

This one has a very interesting design overhang at each end. Wonderful deep color. Your shot shows it very well.

This is lovely...the mist rising on the right is lovely and the water is so still. Great!

@MrsAmber: It was so foggy when I was driving to Madison County early in the morning.

You caught a great shot of the bridge, and a really great shot of the reflection in this water.

Excellent angle. But doesn't look like a very easy spot from where you took the shot.

@Ajay: The banks of these streams were very muddy and slippery. I almost fell in a time or two but was able to keep my footing.
