The Horton Mill Covered Bridge is a state owned wooden covered bridge that spans the Calvert Prong of the Little Warrior River in Blount County, Alabama, United States. It is located on a river crossover (Horton Mill Road) to Ebell Road and Covered Bridge Circle off State Route 75 about 5 miles (8 kilometers) north of the city of Oneonta.
Built in 1934, the 220-foot (67-meter) bridge is a Town Lattice truss construction over two spans. The Horton Mill Covered Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 29, 1970, the first covered bridge in the southeastern United States to be added. At 70 feet (21 m), it is the highest covered bridge above any U.S. waterway. It was reopened on March 11, 2013 after being closed in 2007 due to vandalism. The bridge is currently open to motor vehicle traffic. However, there is only one lane and the posted speed limit is 5 MPH. The Horton Mill Covered Bridge is maintained by the Alabama Historical Commission, Blount County Commission and the Alabama Department of Transportation.(source)

exceptional on every level
An impressive shot of this interior with excellent leading lines. The perspective is very strong. A very successful shot.
Lovely.
Excellent sense of depth.
A beautiful shot of the bridge. I hate that vandals attack these old bridges. One of the bridges of Madison County was destroyed by arson.
That is so nice.
I do like the depth in this one.
An impressive architecture. Cheers
SOLD.
