Here’s another photo I took while visiting Woodstock, Vermont. This huge tree caught my eye due to it’s size, the veritable rainbow of colors scattered across it, and the moon directly above.
While on vacation in Vermont, we took a day trip to check out Woodstock, Vermont. I took this photo while wondering around this quaint town. After visiting Woodstock, we drove on further to have a beer at Long Trail Brewing Company.
I took this photo of New Hampshire Covered Bridge #20, the Cornish-Windsor Bridge, on the New Hampshire side of the Connecticut River. Just outside of the bridge there is a sign with the following details:
Built in 1866 at a cost of $9,000, this is the longest wooden bridge in the United States and the longest two-span covered bridge in the world. The fourth bridge at this site, the 460-foot structure was built by Bela J. Fletcher (1811-1877) of Claremont and James F. Tasker (1826-1903) of Cornish, using a lattice truss patented by architect Itheil Town in 1820 and 1835. Built as a toll bridge by a private corporation, the span was purchased by the state of New Hampshire in 1936 and made toll-free in 1943.
While we were on vacation in Vermont some friends had recommended visiting Woodstock. While on route from Norwich to Woodstock we noticed a bunch of people standing around and taking pictures from the side of the bridge we were crossing. We pulled over to see what the view was all about and found Quechee Gorge. The river that goes through this gorge is the Ottauquechee River.
Dartmouth has a beautiful ivy league campus which is enhanced by the bright fall colors. The red leaves on this tree were especially striking with the campus buildings in the background.
