Fall foliage was perfect so we thought why not grab some covered bridges shots?
Covered bridges are the beautiful accessory to a fall photo. The red roof ones look especially stunning against the leaves changing color. An iPhone tip is to grab a leaf off the ground and put it in the forefront of the camera and then switch to Portrait mode for a boca effect.
We uncovered six covered bridges within a certain range of our Airbnb in Dover, NH. Below are images as well as the Wikipedia links to all that had them available.
The first we found was
Old Stage Road Bridge
You can’t drive on this covered bridge and the poles got in the way of the photos. It is close to a farm area and there were some adorable chickens in the road and pigs not too far from the bridge.
The second bridge was:
(AKA: Sawyers Crossing Bridge)
This bridge was extremely busy with a lot of traffic so getting a shot in front of it was a big challenge. You can drive across this bridge.
The third was:
(Aka West Swanzey Covered Bridge)
Fourth was:
Slate Covered Bridge
This one was my favorite. When you drive over it there is that old wooden feel and it had some nice areas to pose around. We dodged traffic and got some good shots. I definitely recommend this bridge as a stop.
Fifth was:
Ashuelot Covered Bridge
This bridge had side wall areas on each side so you could walk across the bridge safely. There were pull off areas as well so you could shoot from a distance and still get the full bridge and foliage. You can drive across this bridge.
Sixth bridge was:
Creamery Bridge
This bridge you can’t drive across. You just walk across it. Nothing fabulous but there are some scenic overlooks not too far from it and a gift shop that was fabulous.
Close to the Creamery Bridge is a gorgeous overlook pull off spot. You can see miles of fall foliage and they have a cute gift shop attached to the lookout. It is also right next to a Distillery.
Our next blog post will be about a fun Airbnb with a TREEHOUSE in Dover, NH! That is where we traveled to these covered bridges from.
