I fell in love with this photo the day that Jan posted it. The cards are beautiful, frame able for a small space. I like that they have plenty of room for writing or doodling inside.

The iconic Rishel Covered Bridge has finally been returned to its former glory. It is a beautiful sight to see!
This historic treasure has survived the violent onslaught of several hurricanes and many floods over the last 182 years. In the fall of 2011, the Susquehanna River Valley in central Pennsylvania had experienced the wettest year in recorded history. After an extremely rainy spring and summer, this old bridge was subjected to two incredibly destructive storms, one right after the other. Those terrible hurricanes were named Irene and Lee. The bridge was very badly damaged. It was actually moved off of its foundation, lost many of the side boards and several critical structural members were damaged. The bridge had to be closed immediately afterward because it was no longer safe. I have been visiting the Rishel regularly, especially since it was damaged, to see if it could possibly be saved.
This is the last local covered bridge to be restored after the floods of...
I was born in the wild hills of West Virginia, raised in western Maryland and currently live in north central Pennsylvania, USA. My higher education includes Theological Studies, Electronics Engineering, Audio Engineering and Visual Arts. I taught a Media course at Pennsylvania College of Technology (Penn State Affiliate). Photography has been an integral part of my life since the mid 1960's. Capturing the beauty and complexity of nature is my main interest, from macro close-ups to wide vistas views ...and everything in between. Natural waterfalls are the most frequent photographic subjects found at the business end of my lens. Historic Covered Bridges and farmland scenes are also very close to my heart, but any visually interesting...

Just visited this one a few years ago and work with a fellow originally from this area who believes his ancestors are a namesake for this covered bridge. Tough to photograph but a great piece of PA history. Well done, Gene. - Mike (V)

Yes, all the property around the bridge is posted, making it nearly impossible to get good composition. The Rishel was closed for more than a year after Irene & Lee... but it's right as rain now. Gene

Very nostalgic! Congratulations for your feature in Memories and Nostalgia!
Gene Walls replied:
Thank you very kindly, Sandra! Most gratefully, Gene
Eti Reid
LOve to see them alive! Awesome work and description Gene!
Gene Walls replied:
Thanks, Eti! This bridge was damaged at about the same time as a similar bridge in New Hampshire was completely washed away. At least this bridge was only damaged, but it was still left where it belonged. The restoration crew did a fantastic job of fixing the Rishel. It's good as new and handling plenty of daily traffic again! Kindest wishes, Gene
Byron Snider
Beautiful old covered bridge, great POV and framing. Excellent color and details fv
Gene Walls replied:
Thanks a lot, Byron! I really love these old historic treasures. Over the last year and a half I have seen four local covered bridges nearly destroyed, but now all four of them are completely restored. They are all as good as the day they were built. I am so glad that our community demands that these old spans get the care and respect that their historical importance deserves. Kindest regards, Gene
Charles Robinson
Great to see other historic bridge restored. It is truly a gem. Love your composition on your excellent photograph. Well done. Voted
Gene Walls replied:
Thank you very kindly, Charles! All of our nearby covered bridges are in "like new" condition now. The 2011 floods did have a silver lining. It forced our community leaders to restore the four local bridges that had been damaged. Best regards, Gene
Donna Kennedy
Fantastic Gene, so glad it's back open for traffic! Great shot :) v/f
Gene Walls replied:
Thank you so much, Donna! I am completely elated that this great old landmark was saved and now it's better that ever. Kindest wishes, Gene
