Save the beauty of West Cornwell Covered Bridge

Nextel wants to install a tower in Connecticut, one possibly near the West Cornwell Covered bridge in Connecticut. Image how the photos would look of the bridge with a huge unsightly tower in the photo. This is a hugely popular covered bridge not only for photography, but artist that come and paint pictures of the bridge.
My grandfather traveled there from Pennsylvania, just to take photos of bridges, and of course he stopped and took photos of this one.


This photo was taken in 1970

While this one was taken back in 1963


Even though these photos were taken in the 60's and 70's. and since then people have been enjoying the beauty of this bridge for many, many years. Its a wonderful bridge to take photos of, its a beauty to see.
