The Bridge with Nine Lives

Uploaded: May 11, 2010

Description

Stayton-Jordan Covered Bridge

In 1937, the Jordan Bridge was built over Thomas Creek at Jordan east of nearby Scio. It stood for almost 50 years before volunteers saved it from being torn down. Instead, they disassembled it and rebuilt it in Stayton’s Pioneer Park in 1985. A fire on Dec. 27, 1994 destroyed the bridge so volunteers once again rebuilt the bridge in 1998. The current version stayed true to the original.

Well, that's dedication. Glad they kept it going so you could capture this wonderful exposure, Denny. I like all 3. This one is special because of the reflection and it shows all parts of the bridge. Their dedication kept the subject, and your dedication brought it to such a beautiful photo. #8604066
