Description

Knowing how you enjoy these old structures as I do, I have enjoyed the ones in your gallery ( fredster66 ) so much, hope you enjoy this tamed downed version.

Located in Cartersville, Georgia. In 1886 the county contracted with Washington W. King, son of freed slave and noted bridge builder Horace King, and Jonathan H. Burke for the construction of this 138-foot bridge. It was adjacent to a mill owned by Daniel Lowry, of which the foundation is still evident. This bridge replaced several previous structures, the last having been built two years prior. Constructed in the Town lattice design, the bridge's web of planks crisscrossing at 45-to 60-degree angles are fastened with wooden pegs, or trunnels, at each intersection. barn.

Thanks to all for your support and comments and views on my last upload.

A splendid capture beyond anything I can put words to, Lynell. The Volunteers have three wins and seven losses? That must hurt.

oh this head-on shot is wonderful. We can see the detailing under the roof, the wonderful decayed wood, and the dark interior that all these covered bridges have. And the real pasted-together look of the planks on the bridge...testament to hand-crafting and endurance. The surrounding has the same gentle shimmer & story-book feel as your last image, but the frontal view makes it more 'realistic' somehow. It's beautiful, Lynell, and yet another example of your ongoing love affair with old structures. And thanks for the reference to fredster66, I just glanced at his work and it's quite fine. Always good to get references from artists you really respect.
