Description
This picture is taken in Hobbit Land, also known as the Vaughan Woods in Hallowell, Maine. Most Mainers call it Hobbit Land because some of the bridges look like those in the drawings of J.R.R. Tolkien. This is one of my favorite bridges there.
I was told that all of these bridges were built during the great depression so that those without jobs could get a little money to feed their families during the harsh winters here in Maine. I'm not sure whether or not all of this is true, but it makes a nice little story.
Thank you for all of your comments and support.

I can see why this bridge is a favorite. Not only is it an interesting piece of architecture but the surrounding landscape makes for a very lovely settings. :O)

Great capture!

The bridge is wide enough for two thin people to walk side by side, but maybe not comfortably, haha. I would guess maybe 3 feet wide. It is also rather long as well as high up. When you reach the center you can get a good view of the stream. Thanks for your comments, Jess

Hi Jesse, I've been away for many weeks, and I'm back for a visit, and though I can't get to all the missed images, I wanted to at least touch some (and I will, in the coming days). But I came to this because I loved it when it went up and because it's typical of your eye & heart. It's a touching late autumn image, the colors now drifting into that late autumnal yellow & brown; and it has very nice leafy atmosphere, a very sweet balance between leaf & branch, growth & stone...and a gentle capture of the bridge, where your angle almost makes the right-side rail meld into the whole. It truly does look thin & very intimate. A very charmed & sensitive piece, your photography has real delicacy and intimacy to it. And I saw that you got LWITG: Congratulations. I'm glad you were recognized. I hope you have a good holiday, and a good remaining fall. I'll be back again. This image is just how I feel this late November morning. All my best to you, Jessie; lots of light to you!
