Just off of US Rt. 6, east of Burlington, PA, the Knapp covered bridge spans Browns Creek. This bridge is unusually long for an active road bridge. But Covered Bridge Rd is pretty quiet, so the bridge wouldn’t get much traffic. This is one of the very few covered bridges I’ve seen that is not painted red.
These images give a comparison between 35mm and 6x9 medium format.
