 Stillwater Covered Bridge - Stillwater, PA
The Stillwater Covered Bridge crosses over Big Fishing Creek in the Borough of Stillwater. This covered bridge has a length of 168 feet and was built by James McHenry in 1849 for a cost of only $1,124. It is a Burr Arch truss with a herringbone wood deck & is supported by The Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Society of Pennsylvania, Inc. The Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Society was named in honor of the famous Theodore Burr, who was known for the Burr Arch construction of covered bridges.

I really like how the bridge pulls the viewer's eyes through the frame. That is very effective, I think. The whites looks a touch on the bright side, but the red is a nice color and the icicles add a lot to the shot.

This is beautiful. I love how the icicles seem to fall in a rhythmic pattern down the eve of the bridge.
