COVERED BRIDGES OF THE United States # 17

Brooke's Crossing
Allen County, IN.
This Little bridge is no doubt a privately owned covered bridge and not a public one on a road way as most covered bridges are. This little bridge could use some paint to really beautify it.

If you look close you can see the wasp nests attached to the sofftit . I have circled and marked them in the photo below.And as you know a wasp can give a nasty sting.


It would appear that this bridge was built in the year 2001.

paint this bridge and it would look beautiful. Although it does have an old fashion look as it is now. what do you think paint or no paint.

Very cool photos @otisbrown ! I am pretty sure there is one of these in central PA, trying to recall - thank you for sharing

I do agree about the paint but in it's current shape it also has a nice rugged look to it.

Looks good rustic, but it needs preserving....

I like this old style of it. Thanks for sharing your awesome photography work, @otisbrown. It seems you have an interesting blog on Steemit. I have just started following you! You are more than welcomed to check out mine as well ;)
