January Thaw

Covered Bridge_Salisbury_Jan_2013

This weekend brought a most welcome January thaw, when for the first time in quite awhile it was actually comfortable to be outside.

This little beauty has been on my “to-do” list for a while now.

It’s a small one at only 50 feet long, and because of the snow, rocks, and rushing water, there was really only one vantage point, and this is it.

Have a great week ahead!

  • Wow! The processing on this is dope! I know I couldn’t think of a cooler adjective to use-dope says it all:-).

  • Beautiful shot Lisa! We are having nice sunny weather here after a spell of cold. It sure feels good to soak in some sun.
    Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

  • I love covered bridges..and thank you for the link to the Steve McCurry video. Lots to think about there..

  • An awesome picture. I really like the rusty, old look of the photograph, it fits perfectly with the ambience and subject. The soft/blurred effect adds an extra dimension. Beautiful.

  • this is so pretty and dreamy! I’m in Canada and we’ve had some beautiful weather over the last few days here that has melted most of the snow as well

    January 15, 2013
  • Wow – that is a beauty!

    January 14, 2013
  • So, are people allowed to drive across? Looks like maybe, but not in winter? The thaw gives the scene movement. Great to hear it got a bit warmer!

    January 14, 2013
    • Yes, Shirley, just not in the winter time.

      January 15, 2013
  • Beautiful shot with lovely tones!
    Have a great week, Lisa!

    Hi Lisa, I have found you again:) and I like the new blog setup. Gorgeous cover bridge shot. Was it hard transferring from blogger to where you are, I am not happy with Google as my blog host.

    • Sent you an email, Jen.

      January 14, 2013

    January 14, 2013

  • I missed your canvas texture on my phone … glad I came here to see the larger view. Thaw? OMG, we are so far from thawing out here in Colorado … the high today will be 17º! Overnight lows are below zero. Well, maybe not too far. We might actually get up to 30º tomorrow!! LOL Happy day to you, my friend.

  • Beautiful, I love covered bridges.

    January 14, 2013
  • Lovely old bridge and you did a wonderful texture for it.

    January 14, 2013

    We had a bit of a thaw too, so nice to be outside and not thinking of only how cold you are! What a pretty little bridge…the textured sky is a real nice touch too.

    January 14, 2013
  • Oh Lisa, you have outdone yourself this time! Absolutely magnificent. Love the softness combined with that wonderful texture! I’m in awe! :)

    January 14, 2013
  • Ciao Lisa, happy Monday! :)
    I’ve already commented this at Flickr, but it’s so gorgeous that it’s sure worthy a second and third look. You did great with the edit of this charming covered bridge. I wish we had them here too.

  • I love these covered bridges – so much character!

    January 14, 2013
  • Hi,Lisa. It looks spring is coming near. It will be very cold again?
    We had a heavy snow in Tokyo today. Almost all of flights were cancelled in Tokyo, Haneda International Airport.

    January 14, 2013
  • I love covered bridges and they are rather rare over here. It’s nice that you’re getting warmer temperatures before the next onslaught of cold and snow. Temperatures dropping here daily! It’s winter!
    Have a great week and keep warm!

    January 14, 2013
  • Glad things are warming up a bit, love this winter scene.

    January 14, 2013
  • Such beautiful photos Lisa! Sorry I haven’t dropped by in a bit but life has been crazy! More surgery and just plain crazyness hasn’t left much time for blogging. I’m trying to get back on track though! Hope things are going well for you! You are such a talented photographer and I am so inspired by what you do!

    January 14, 2013
  • Oh, that is so lovely! I am delighted to see another covered bridge on your blog — I’ve been missing your bridges. You are having a thaw while we are having a cold snap, so unusual for California. I’m afraid it’s going to be coming your way soon. Stay warm!

    January 13, 2013
  • Your photo look amazing. What a perfect scene.. So glad to hear you had some nice weather. It has been cold and windy here.. YUCK!

    Hugs~

    Such elegant processing on this wonderful bridge Lisa!! I had not given any thought that these bridges would be closed due to snow. A nice outing for you!! xo

    January 13, 2013
  • This is really outstanding, Lisa!

    January 13, 2013

  • What a beautiful winter scene!

    January 13, 2013

    January 13, 2013
