Welcome

Welcome to the Covered Bridges of Northeastern United States. My name is Christina, I am a freelance photographer and blogger. During everyday life I make a living selling auto parts. I enjoy photography, blogging, working on cars, and crocheting in my spare time. Photography has been a passion for me since I was a child, I have always loved taking pictures of everything, whether it be cars at a car show to covered bridges spanning a river or creek. Blogging is a newer passion of mine.  We will be exploring the different types of architecture of covered bridges. Along with the history of covered bridges I’ve had the pleasure to photograph around the Northeastern United States and around the United States. All photos of the Covered Bridges are for sale at https://dusterchrissy.picfair.com.
