It’s summertime and the livin’ is easy at Geiger’s Covered Bridge on the warm, lazy and lush July evening – quintessential summer – I captured this HDR scene that beckons you to stop and soak in the splendor of my most favorite of seasons in this picturesque postcard of summer’s beauty.

Country Roads Take Me Home ...

“Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong …

And driving down the road I get a feeling

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday …”
