Covered Bridge Art

 This is the Weddle Bridge in Sweet Home, Oregon. It is a 120 foot long wooden covered bridge.

The original bridge was built in 1937 and, rebuilt in 1990. The bridge originally spanned Thomas Creek.

In 1989, a Sweet Home group rebuilt the Weddle Bridge across Ames Creek in Sankey Park.

I combined a High Dynamic Range image with an unusual texture to give it a painted look. At one time Oregon had more covered bridges than any state west of the Mississippi!

Covered Bridges Two

Last post on the covered bridges in Cottage Grove, Oregon. The first one here, the Chambers Bridge is fairly close to downtown and is an old railway bridge.

The second bridge, the Centennial is right downtown and is a pedestrian bridge. I think of all the covered bridges that we saw in the Cottage Grove area, the Chambers is my favorite.

Covered Bridges

Believe it or not there are a lot of covered bridges in Oregon.  One would think that they are only prevalent on the East Coast, Midwest, or not to forget the great big ones in Texas or anyplace other than Oregon.

However, Oregon has its share and I am featuring the ones near Cottage Grove, which is down below Eugene.

The ones that are featured here are not very old, meaning: 1949-1930-1920-1883 (revamped in 1925) in that order. Hey, they are all painted white. Although, the Currin Bridge has red siding. All are closed to auto and truck traffic except the Mosby Creek one.

If you saw how many log trucks go tooling by the Dorena Bridge, on a newly constructed by pass bridge you would understand why.

I did the High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR) thing. I took three different exposures of each bridge and combined them in Photomatix software and finished them in Lightroom 4.
