Description
“Remembrance, like a candle, burns brightest at Christmastime.”
~ Charles Dickens
~ 1812-1870
Travelers draw near the historic Wehr’s Covered Bridge, Orefield, Pennsylvania, festooned in Christmas lights as it sparkles with the joy of Christmastime on a December evening a few days before Christmas in this rich tone monochrome shot. Remnants of a snowfall that blanketed the region with 11.3 inches of snow a week before still cover the ground that surrounds the bridge.
Wehr’s Covered Bridge is an historic wooden covered bridge located in Covered Bridge Park in South Whitehall Township. It is a three span, 117-foot-long, Burr Truss bridge, constructed in 1841. It has horizontal siding and a gable roof. It crosses the Jordan Creek and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.The nearby Wehr’s Dam was built in 1904.
This beautiful bridge has seen travelers for 179 Christmastimes, but the true beauty is the reason and meaning of the season - the birth of Christ - which is timeless and remains the same.
Merry Christmas, Happy Christmas everyone!
