 The Twin Bridges (East & West Paden) - Village of Forks, PA
W.C. Pennington built the Twin Bridges in 1884 at a cost of $720, the bridge was named after John Paden, who operated a nearby sawmill. The East Paden was damaged by an arsonist in 2004, after $316,000 in repairs it was reopened & dedicated in May 2006. Exactly one month after the dedication the West Paden collapsed when the Huntington Creek flooded. The East & West Paden had been the only twin covered bridges in the country, the West Paden bridge has not yet been repaired.

I like the perspective you have chosen for this. It gives a good overview of the area, but still maintains the beauty of the covered bridge. It may be a bit too centered - it feels as if it should be just a hair further to the right in the frame, but the hint of the orange construction fence leads me to think there may have been a reason to crop it. The focus is okay, though it does seem to be just a bit off -- as evidenced by the words over the bridge opening. I'm wondering if this is an effect from resizing. Nicely shot, and I like the level of contrast in this one.

I like the comparison you captured with the destruction and the new. Beautiful colors.

What a shame about the bridges, but it's great somebody cares enough to restore them. Thanks for the story.

I saw your 3 bridge shots in another thread. It's nice that you have the history of them for us with each shot. It's a shame that the other bridge like this is out now, but maybe it will be rebuilt some day.
The images are just excellent.
