“Art arises when the secret vision of the artist and the manifestation of nature agree to find new shapes.”

Kreidersville Covered Bridge is sitting pretty in this painterly, HDR shot I captured on a beautiful mid-August afternoon. The bridge in Allen Township, on the outskirts of Northampton, Pennsylvania was built in 1839 and is loved for its great history and tranquil setting by the Hokendauqua Creek. It is the only covered bridge left in Northampton County.
The pedestrian-only bridge that crosses the Hokendauqua Creek is the oldest covered bridge in the Lehigh Valley and one of the oldest in the state. The historic wooden Burr Truss Bridge has a 116-foot-long span and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
