One of the greatest joys of taking a scenic ride in the country is finding a covered bridge along the way. No matter how many I have seen I am always delighted to find and photograph a new one. Fortunately in New Hampshire and Vermont the opportunity happens frequently! |

The Queechee Bridge in Vermont is a beautiful setting with the bridge and dam. Summertime you are apt to see daring teens swinging from a rope hanging under the bridge jumping in the water to keep cool. Early summer it is also the setting for a hot air ballon festival. |

The Thompson Bridge in Swanzey, NH was originally built in 1832 and reconstruced in 1993. This is one of my favorite bridges. |
