Some Northern New England Photos

WelshWitchPMD · #1 11-04-2005, 08:06 PM

Well sort of. I went away on vacation to NH, VT and central MA from Oct 26-30. I did not get as many photos as I would have liked to. All the places to photograph were right on the highway and we could not stop. The highlight of my trip was the stop in Keene, NH. It was a cute little town and I was able to discover something new to me in the area: Covered Bridges. There were 5 of them in like a 10-mile area maybe less then that but they were not too far from each other. It was exciting to follow the map and find the different covered bridges. Of course I went to photograph them on a cloudy day and they look rather dull.
Another highlight was the fact that the hotel in Keene had a computer in the lobby with free internet access that I could use anytime. Needless to say I checked in on The Ledge. Needless to say my friend was not too happy. Then I had to explain to her what The Ledge was. Not fun!

OK here are some:

I had to resize the photos because it made my AOL crash.

Sorry for any confusion or problems that it might have caused.

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.

We have lots of covered bridges here in the western part of our state. Every year, we have a Covered Bridge Festival. There's lots of booths and what not set up with crafts to sell. Anyhow, you can take driving tours of the bridges, and I absolutely love them.

Yup. There was one in my college town....You had to drive through it just to get downtown. It's one of the only covered bridges that is still used for traffic in the US. It was weird seeing the bridge next to a NAPA.
