[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The West Arlington Bridge is one of Vermont's most photographed and painted covered bridges. Dating to 1852, the picturesque red bridge is located on the town green near the former home of painter Norman Rockwell, which is now the Inn on Covered Bridge Green.

West Arlington Bridge spans the Battenkill River, a popular spot for kayaking and fly fishing.

Hi Tom
The red bridge stands out well in this winter scene.Well exposed for this time of day.

Hello Tom,

I think covered bridges are one of the most interesting attractions in Eastern North America. They truly enhance the landscapes around this area. The one shown here seem short but its setting is very pretty. Excellent framed winter scene. The branches above add an extra natural piece of frame to the view while the colours and light seem just right. Thanks Tom.

Hello Tom,
A fine composition of this bridge whose deep red colour contrasts beautifully with the deep blue sky. Excellent colours and clarity.

Hi Tom
le pont couvert avec sa couleur rouge fait un très beau contraste dans cette photo, c'est une belle composition, bravo.
Amitiés

Hi Tom,
great winter landscape in beautiful light. The red is a very strong topic here. Well composed with the overhanging branch and the see through.
Regards, Gerrit

I really like this pov as it allows us to see right through. Love that blue sky , and of course the red bridge. I wish we had these bridges around here. TFS

Hi tom,
Nice perspective here although a slight profile rather than end on shot might have added a bit more interest. Well framed and nicely saturated colors. Great shot and TFS. Gerald

Hello Tom,

best exposure and focus, my compliment

Hello Tom,

One of my favorite bridge color with its eye catching red housing. Dried trees full with naked branches are creating a great background and depth under beautiful sky as usual. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

Hi Tom, good shot and interesting place! Nice POV and colors.

Hi Tom,
it is very good dealt image, everything is very good placed from a very good POV.
The very nice blue on the sky adds a beautiful effect to all composition.
Have a nice day,
Evangelos

Hi Tom,
One shined picture of this old red bridge, the one which very illuminated for the light of the winter. The contrast of the colors is shined, and this branch without leaves that it frames the scene is very well put. It seems a movies capture. Regards, Consuelo

Hello Tom! You inspire me to make photos too and show you some Swiss versions, we actually have some covered bridges too but I am afraid not as colorful as your wonderful photo is (we stay with wood brown, the all natural version, but I prefer this so much more). I like that you have some tree in your photo as your foreground and how it reflects in the snow, a nice way to start your picture. All so pretty out here, and I guess I take my VT map out later in the evening and study where you were. You are normally further south, right, I was more up, Burlington and even more north, or is this north? Barbara.

Tom,
This is a fine bridge! The road leads the eye into the shot nicely. Your light management is very good controlling the bright snow while bringing out nice vivid colors. The deep blue sky provides a nice backdrop for the shot and contrasts the red bridge nicely.
Thanks for the tip on the PBS lighthouse video, I will have to check it out!
TFS,
Asa

Tom, I love it!! I saw a couple this past weekend myself but nothing with results like this. Your color and detail is great ad I love being able to look through the structure, great capture.

JFTR I some how got you dropped from my favorites list and have been missing your posts, I have you back in the list...

Hi Tom,
I think this is the best of your covered bridge series; partly because of the excellent color and partly because I really like the way you framed the bridge with the tree branch and its shadow.
HLJ, Pat

Wonderful shot, Tom.
The colors are just awesome! I love that brilliant red bridge in contrast to the snow and the blue of the sky. I like the view and the tree frames the shot beautifully. Outstanding winter scene! Great job... Thanks and warm regards,
Shelly
