2020 Edition
This road trip was taken during the scamdemic of 2020. The year that
the commie Democrats intentionally destroyed the US economy, unlawfully
took away our constituional rights and freedoms and pretty much destroyed
America as we knew it.

Imes covered bridge
These images were made with my Nikon D810 camera and my
Zeiss Planar T* 50mm F/1.4 ZF.2 manual focus Lens.
I had a pretty good idea where all of these bridges were and had paper
maps, GPS coordinates and WAZE waypoints so I was confident I could find
most if not all of them.
Driving into town I decided to stop in to the information center and met
the nicest old lady. She was a tiny little thing... a life-long resident
of Winterset, Iowa and was a treasure trove of information about the town
and it's history.
I wound up spending a lot more time at the visitor center than I planned
but it was impossible to leave because she just had so much great and
interesting information.
Listening to this lovely old lady with her husband of a lifetime sitting
beside her I was struck by how wonderful a committed life-long relationship
with someone must be. Not that I will ever find that in my own life but
just being with her, listening to her and imagining how she might have
been as a young girl filled me with awe.
I told her that I had just visited the Buddy Holly plane crash site in
Clear Lake, Iowa and she said that she remebered that day very well
(as do I).. said she was in a car with her boyfriend (her now husband)
and was very sad about the news. We also talked about the day Patsy
Cline died.
What a remarkable old girl. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet her.
Very harsh lighting conditions again today. So not especially thrilled
about the images I got.
