Indiana Covered Bridges – October 2019 – Rolling Stone

My third stop during my first day of photographing Putnam County covered bridges was the Rolling Stone Bridge.

This bridge got its name from a large boulder in the creek that moved, when the current was strong.  That boulder was destroyed, as it was deemed a threat to the bridge.

Rolling Stone is a short, single span bridge in an attractive setting.

I shot multiple exposures of the inside, then combined those to  create HDR images.

The engineering and construction of these bridges is remarkable.  These were designed to last for many years, although these do require maintenance, mostly to the exterior, from time to time.

I was able to get down to the creek and shoot from several viewpoints along the creek shoreline.
