Imes Covered Bridge
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 23 October 2009 in Architecture.
Built in 1870, this 81 foot (24.7 meter) bridge of the Town Lattice truss type spans a ravine in Madison County, Iowa, USA. It is located in a park in St. Charles, IA on the eastern edge of Madison County. It was originally located over the Middle River west of Patterson, IA. It carries no vehicular traffic.
Part of the Bridges of Madison County series.

The curve in the foreground draws me into the picture and perfectly compliments the size of the bridge. A lovely shot!

I like very much the treatment here, like an old photography. The structures looks similar to the last one, with these inclined ends. Very good.

Each one of these makes a different statement . . I love the 'resting' location this one seems to have found.

A fine composition and processing to get the bridge and this fine toning. A very appealing shot.

Love the slope, its inclination, and of course this tone (my fav), gives a timeless quality, like a document you found in a treasure-box !

I love the look and vintage feel of this image. Old bridges have always been a favorite of mine to photograph. We don't have many remaining now. They have all been replaced with modern bridges!
Very nice.

The sepia tint really gives this shot an old look, a beautiful record Steve.

Excellent! Love the border on this one. It makes it look like the photograph could have been taken decades ago.

I love it that people sought to save the bridges with all their beauty by putting them in parks :)
