  • Larkin’s Covered Bridge (1854)

    Eagle, Chester County [38-15-11]

    I stopped at the nearby Target to pickup some quick supplies, and then jumped in the car, and started up the GPS.

    A day or two earlier, I had spent some time on Google Maps and my Reference sites, entering in GPS coordinates.

    After everything was up and running, I looked up the nearest bridge, and Larkin’s was the first on the list.

    As I headed North on Route 100 from the Route 113 intersection (Uwchlan Ave), without issue, but as I followed the GPS, I quickly found that the map on the GPS, was not up to date, and I first ended up doing a circle.

    On the second try, I looked at the roads, and used the GPS as a guide, and finally made it to the bridge.

    I pulled over as close to the bridge as possible, and grabbed my gear.

    I free-handed this shot…

    Larkin’s does not have car or truck access, and can only be crossed via foot or bicycle, which made it all the more easy to photograph.

    So I broke out the tripod, and was easily able to capture this…

    I moved to the other side of the bridge, to where the cat o’ nine tails are growing, looked back and captured this…

  • Three (3) bridges in an Afternoon!

    After spending the morning at a clients, I was able to go out photographing in the afternoon, and I let the GPS lead the way!

    I was able to visit:

    with a quick stop at St. Matthew’s Church after seeing “it” from the road.
