Title:

View from the Middle of the Bridge on Plains Road

Date:: 2000-05-01
Description:: The new photograph shows the same location along the riverbed in spring. The bridge abutment is no longer visible. If the support is still there, it may be obscured by the foliage of the forested riparian zone. Derik Bibb, a student a Mount Mansfield Union High School wrote the following commentary on the photographs. Trees, other vegetation, and geologic aspects change much over time. In Vermont, there are now more trees than there ever were since the ice age. In the times when my original pictures were taken (1853-1942), Vermont was heavily deforested with much clear cutting logging throughout the Green Mountains. You can notice in the Trestle Bridge, that the concrete abutment is hardly visible through the vegetation. However, if you look closely, you can catch the outline of it. The pictures were taken in different seasons, yet one can still perceive that there are a great many more trees and vegetation than there was in 1855 Vermont has long been called "The Green Mountain State" and verde mont translates from French to green mountain. With the liberal expansion of trees, this has once again become a reality. When all the forests were clear cut, the whole ecosystem of Vermont was changed, but now it has a chance to rise again into what it once was. These pictures are living proof of that.
