I'm extremely excited because I'm going to finally photograph some covered bridges.. I love the covered bridges just about as much as old barns and here in the midwest we have several areas where you can find several covered bridges.
There is a county in Indiana, Parke County that is known to be the covered bridge captial of the world. There are currently 31 covered bridges in that area. So I heard about this area from a co-worker and he and his family go to the covered bridge festival every fall and I remembered him talking about it all the time. So I asked him where exactly it was in Indiana and I find out it's really not all that far from me, just about 3 hours. So I made reservations at a cheap motel in Rockville, Indiana and in two weeks my daughter and a friend of hers are heading down there to photograph the covered bridges and to see some of the Amish Farms.
I'm almost drooling with excitement at the photos I can take of all the bridges down there.
Here is the link to the website, they have a very cool interactive map that you can click on each of the covered bridge icons and it pulls up some photos of the bridge and history on it. This way I can see the bridges in advance and pick and choose which ones I like better so I'm not just blindly driving to them without knowing if it is one that I would like to photograph.
