  • Bridgeton Historic District, Indiana: Bridgeton Covered Bridge (245 feet long) was rebuilt in historically accurate Burr Arch style in 2006 over Big Raccoon Creek (replacing 1868 bridge burnt by arson in 2005) on Bridgeton Road, Parke County, Indiana, USA. Bridgeton Mill was established 1823, rebuilt 1870, and is the oldest continuously operating mill west of the Allegheny Mountains. The mill grinds wheat into flour and corn into meal with 200 year-old French Buhr stones. Red and white paint protects the wood bridge. The traditional "Cross this bridge at a walk" sign required slow vehicle speed, but traffic is now diverted to an adjacent modern bridge.

  • Kachina Bridge in Natural Bridges National Monument, near Blanding, Utah, USA. White Canyon Creek has cut Kachina Bridge with a span of 192 feet through white Permian sandstone of the Cedar Mesa Formation. Kachina is named for rock art on the bridge that resembles symbols commonly used on kachina dolls. Manganese-rich desert varnish requires thousands of years to coat a rock face protected from precipitation and wind erosion. The varnish likely originates from airborne dust and external surface runoff, including: clay minerals, oxides and hydroxides of manganese (Mn) and/or iron (Fe), sand grains, trace elements, and usually organic matter. Streaks of black varnish often occur where water cascades over cliffs protected from wind. Varnish color varies from shades of brown to black. Manganese-poor, iron-rich varnishes are red to orange, and intermediate concentrations are shaded brown. Manganese-oxidizing microbes may explain the unusually high concentration of manganese in black desert varnish, which can be smooth and shiny where densest. This panorama was stitched from 5 overlapping photos.

  • Humpback Covered Bridge, built in 1857, is the oldest remaining covered bridge in the state of Virginia. Humpback Bridge is one of the few remaining covered bridges in the USA built higher in the middle than on either end (with a humpback 4 feet or 1.2 meters high). The bridge spans 109 feet (33 m) across Dunlap Creek (a tributary of Jackson River), near Covington, Virginia. Covered wooden bridges averaged ten times the lifespan of uncovered ones. Sometimes referred to as "kissing bridges" during the modest era of the late 1800s, covered bridges allowed horse and buggy passengers kissing privacy. Two former non-covered bridges here (built in the 1820s and 1838) were destroyed by floods, and a third bridge collapsed in 1856 due to heavy use and weathering. All three bridges were a part of the James River and Kanawha Turnpike, a heavily traveled mountain road that connected the Shenandoah Valley with the Alleghany Mountains and westwards. The decking, unlike houses and other structures, could not be painted to prevent deterioration, as the traffic from horses and wagons would quickly remove any available paints of the era. The Humpback Covered Bridge was used from 1857 to 1929, when a steel truss bridge was built for US Highway 60 immediately to the north. The bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. The bridge retains most of its original 1857 hand-hewn white oak and hickory support timbers and decking, but most of the walls and roofing have been replaced several times. The supports incorporate a unique curved multiple kingpost-truss system that is not found in any other surviving wooden bridge in the USA. The bridge is a unique design not duplicated anywhere else. How to reach Humpback Bridge: Take Exit number 10 off of Interstate 64 in Virginia and follow signs, 1 mile east. It is 3 miles west of Covington, Virginia adjacent to U.S. Highway 60 off Rumsey Road (SR 600).

  • The Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri, built 1602) spans the Roi di Palazzo and connects the Old Prison and interrogation rooms in the Doge’s Palace to the New Prison located across the canal to the right, in Venice, Italy, Europe. The bridge can be seen from Ponte della Paglia next to the Doge’s Palace. The bridge name, given by Lord Byron in the 19th century, comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells. In reality, the days of inquisitions and summary executions were over by the time the bridge was built and the cells under the palace roof were occupied mostly by small-time criminals. Little could be seen from inside the Bridge due to the stone grills covering the windows. A local legend says that lovers will be granted eternal love and bliss if they kiss on a gondola at sunset under the Bridge of Sighs as the bells of St Mark's Campanile toll. This legend served as a plot line for the movie "A Little Romance," featuring Laurence Olivier and Diane Lane. Venice (Venezia), founded in the 400s AD, is capital of Italy’s Veneto region, named for the ancient Veneti people from the 900s BC. The romantic City of Canals stretches across 100+ small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea, between the mouths of the Po and Piave Rivers. The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, a staging area for the Crusades, and a major center of art and commerce (silk, grain and spice trade) from the 1200s to 1600s. The wealthy legacy of Venice stands today in a rich architecture combining Gothic, Byzantine, and Arab styles. Venice and the Venetian Lagoon are honored on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

  • High tide nearly touches the bottom of the covered bridge. Irish River or Vaughan Creek #1 Covered Bridge was built in 1935 in picturesque St. Martins, in Saint John County, New Brunswick, Canada. The lighthouse building was built in 1983 to display the lantern room from the 1883 Quaco Head Lighthouse and to serve as a Visitor Information Center in St. Martins. Climb to the lantern to view the harbour and two historic covered bridges. Observe the extreme tides of Bay of Fundy lifting fishing boats near the bridge. Drive through the covered bridge and go 7 km on Big Salmon River Road to reach the start of the Fundy Trail Parkway, a 16 kilometer auto route along the Fundy coast ending at Big Salmon River, a former lumbering center. Bay of Fundy has the highest tidal range in the world, due to a resonance of being just the right length (270 km) matching the gravitational pushing cycle of the Moon that causes the tides. Coincidentally, the time it takes a large wave to go from the mouth of the bay to the inner shore and back is practically the same as the time from one high tide to the next. (You can see the effect of resonance for yourself by steadily pushing a long pan of water back and forth: an optimal pushing frequency for a given pan length will build up a high wave of water which sloshes out; but pushing too fast or too slow won't build up the big wave.) Two high tides occur per day, one when the ocean side is nearest the Moon, and one on the side of the Earth most distant from the Moon, about 12 hours and 25 minutes from one high tide to the next. The Bay of Fundy is on the Atlantic coast of North America, on the northeast end of the Gulf of Maine between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. St. Martins (2006 population: 386) is 40 km east of Saint John. St. Martins (originally known as Quaco) was founded by Loyalists in 1783. Its important 1800s shipbuilding center faded, leaving tourism as today's major industry.

  • Stirling Old Bridge on the River Forth was built in the 1400s or 1500s to replace a succession of timber bridges. Sir William Wallace and Sir Andrew Moray defeated Edward I's forces at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. In the Jacobite Rising of 1745, an arch was removed to forestall Bonnie Prince Charlie’s forces as they marched south. Today it is one the best medieval masonry arch bridges in Scotland. Once the capital of Scotland, Stirling controlled a strategic position (until the 1890s) as the lowest bridging point of the River Forth before it broadens towards the Firth of Forth, making it the gateway to the Scottish Highlands. One of the principal royal strongholds of the Kingdom of Scotland, Stirling was created a royal burgh by King David I in 1130.

  • A vaporetto (waterbus) cruises under Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto, built 1591), the oldest of four bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice, in Italy, Europe. The single span stone bridge designed by Antonio da Pontestone is an architectural icon of Venice. In 452 AD, Attila the Hun invaded Italy, and people retreated to offshore islands called Rivo Alto (high bank), or Ri'Alto, the center of Venice. Venice/Venezia is the capital of Italy’s Veneto region, named for the ancient Veneti people from the 900s BC. The romantic "City of Canals" stretches across 100+ small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, a staging area for the Crusades, and a major center of art and commerce (silk, grain and spice trade) from the 1200s to 1600s.

  • Gondoliers row gondolas on the Grand Canal under Rialto Bridge (or Ponte di Rialto, built 1591), which is the oldest of four bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, Europe. The single span stone bridge designed by Antonio da Pontestone is an architectural icon of Venice. In 452 AD, Attila the Hun invaded Italy, and people retreated to offshore islands called Rivo Alto (high bank), or Ri'Alto, the center of Venice. Venice/Venezia is the capital of Italy’s Veneto region, named for the ancient Veneti people from the 900s BC. The romantic "City of Canals" stretches across 100+ small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, a staging area for the Crusades, and a major center of art and commerce (silk, grain and spice trade) from the 1200s to 1600s.
