As bad news sweeps the nation, step away and take a moment to marinate in some beautiful pics of covered bridges shot by legendary former CHS coach Bob Barker.
Bob Barker is the legend who keeps on giving.
The former Coupeville High School coach, teacher, and administrator resurfaced in my mailbox this morning, with a short note and some pics.
When he returned to the CHS gym two years ago during the school’s 101st anniversary of its boys basketball program, it was as close as I will ever come to seeing Elvis enter the building.
Apparently, Mr. Barker has a little bit of another icon in his makeup.
As he writes:
A number of years ago I was into photography.
I liked to take pictures of flowers, and old buildings, especially old barns.
After watching the Clint Eastwood movie “The Bridges of Madison County,” I decided I wanted to include pictures of old covered bridges.
Researching I found that within the borders of Oregon state there were (at least at that time) over 50 covered bridges.
On a three-day excursion I was able to locate and photograph well over 20 of these bridges.
What a fun trip that was.
Bob
Thanks Mr. Barker, lovely pictures. Also no geometry included🤣
