Bridges

[Llywellyn]

Drove up into a strange, foreign place (okay, it was Maryland, but it might as well be another country as far as Virginia folk are concerned) to snap some nifty historic bridges. I had more fun crawling under them, really, than walking through them. I love covered bridges. :lust

Near the last bridge was (what appeared to be) an abandoned stable, so I decided to invoke Schmoo and shoot a little tribute. :wink

Thank you! :lust I so often get annoyed when people step into my shots, but I'm beginning to realize they actually can add more to my frame. I should really get over this preference of objects to people. Hm...might be why I'm so socially inept. :rofl

Have fun on your bike trip! Please post the results of your journey so I can trundle through some more covered bridges in photos.

:roflGlad to hear someone was thinking of me! :D

I had no idea there were covered bridges in this area. When I see pictures of them I think of Amish country... which I guess isn't too far away, either.

I really love the angle of your second shot and the composition that brings the person in the bright white light. Thanks for sharing these!

Thank you! :D Admittedly, this was my first time coming across an abandoned place; I found it creepy, and a bit like I was disturbing hallowed ground. I walked with extra care and tried not to breathe very loud. :rofl I hesitated before going in, then had my "What would Schmooo do?" moment and crossed the threshhold.

The bridges are near Thurmont. This site offers a map of where to find them: http://www.fredericktourism.org/MainListings.aspx?c=3
