Here is a picture of the interior of the covered bridge in my other post. Plenty of lines to go around here, I think.

Lines? What lines? I don't see any lines! :blah::blah: Actually, I don't see anything but lines. Great shot though tilted just a bit.

Does anyone know why there are covered bridges as opposed to just a regular bridge?
Thats a great nostalic shot smac. A keeper for sure. They dont build 'em like that too much any more. I bet they are the last of their kind. |

Bynx, bridges were covered to protect the structural trusses from the weather. If left exposed, the wood timbers would deteriorate in just a few years requiring the bridge to be completely rebuilt. With the cover, bridges will last 50 years or more.
Another interesting fact relating to covered bridges--not all bridges with roofs over them are covered bridges. If the timbers of the support trusses are completely enclosed, it is a covered bridge. If the bridge has a roof over it but the trusses are exposed, it is just a bridge with a roof on it. In east Portland, there is a concrete bridge with a roof over it. A lot of people think it is a covered bridge but it is not. Cal |

Thanks guys, now Im 2 brain cells smarter than before I read your answers. One of my fav movies is Bridges of Madison County, so seeing them is always a pleasure.

Very cool, Steve. I don't think I've ever seen one with quite so many lines.
These are all reminding me that I already have tons of photos with lines in them. Guess I should pull them out since I haven't had time during the day to get anything new. Patty |
