This image does not do justice to the inside of this covered bridge. The rich wood tones that envelop you as soon as you're inside this mammoth space are just spectacular. The gradient shades of warm earthy browns and cool muted grays shift with usage patterns and sunlight bleaching - and then to top it off, the symmetry and the engineering of the design....oh my! All from wood. Big, big pieces of wood. Was almost too much for Math Girl - I loves me some math! How about that glowing tunnel effect - divine.
Anyone else fascinated with bees' and wasps' nests? Shapes, symmetry (again), color, texture. Man, they're gorgeous! There were some doozies in here that looked like panflutes. A zoomier zoom lens will be needed to capture these next trip.
Just to show you I haven't gone completely flat-neutral on you, I took these pics on the same bike ride, too! It's a distlefink - a good luck bird that commonly appears in Pennsylvania Dutch folk art and hex signs. Isn't she pretty? Love her vibrant patterns!!
