December 23, 2009 Artist’s Covered Bridge (Sunday River Bridge) Newry, ME

POTD!!!

December 23, 2009 Covered Bridge in MaineI took some time off of skiing to drive around the Sunday River area of Maine. It was very cold and access to a lot of areas was cut off by snow banks. I did find this bridge and managed to slide my car into the parking area nearby. At the time I had no idea what bridge I was shooting just that it was old, wooden, and no longer a used bridge. It sat on a piece of ground above Sunday River just to the right of the road (or left of the road if you are driving the other way)(sarcasm inserted there). I later did a bit of research and found out that this bridge was built in 1872 and closed to traffic in 1958. It is one of 9 remaining covered bridges in Maine and is considered the most popular for artists and photographers (hence its name; Artist’s Covered Bridge).
