The morning sun beautifully painted the autumn hues in spectacular colors. I used a split neutral density filter to overcome the high contrast between the shaded waterfall and the sun-filled leaves. A polarizing filter eliminated glare on rocks and leaves while also extending the shutter speed, thereby allowing to capture the tumbling water as silky white streams.

Bridges having covers for reasons other than protecting wood trusses, such as for protecting pedestrians and keeping horses from shying away from water, are also sometimes called covered bridges.

The development of the timber truss circumvented that limitation and allowed bridges to span greater distances than those with beam-only structures or arch structures, whether of stone, masonry, or timber. Early European truss bridges used king post and queen post configurations. Some early German bridges included diagonal panel bracing in trusses with parallel top and bottom chords.
