Timeworn Remembrance

The timeworn ramp of the old covered bridge across the Haw River at the historic cotton mill hamlet of Bynum, North Carolina gingerly entwines its weathered structure with the threads of time. Built in 1879, the bridge in its heyday serves as a major crossing connecting Chapel Hill to the north with Pittsboro and Sanford to the south. Festooned appropriately with floral sprays of Old Man's Beard and poised atop bridge pylons awash in Duckweed-covered mill race waters, this ramshackle remembrance allows mind's eye to easily wander down memory lanes of bygone days.
