Looking for Iceland photos? Sorry readers, I had technology problems and you can get to the monthly Iceland post by clicking the link here.  In the mean time please enjoy this photo of the Honeyrun Bridge.  Honeywood Covered Bridge near Chico, California. Covered Bridge processed in HDR, 2015

I just love this image of the wooden Honeyrun Bridge I took back in the fall of 2015.    It had been a stormy day but when I got to the bridge it was starting to clear off and the evening sun was shining into the canyon, making the colors vibrant.

The bridge construction was finished in January 1887 for a cost of about $4,300. It was built in 3 different spans, or phases and once completed totals 240 feet in length. It was not originally covered and in 1901 had to be repaired due to weather damage. It is assumed it was covered at this time. 

In 1965 the bridge was badly damaged by a trucker. Driving across the bridge is no longer done as a modern one has been placed just up river.  Today a small park surrounds the historical building that is over 100 years old.  

The Honeyrun Bridge is the only 3-span covered bridge left in the nation!
