A Giant Erector Set
Lens: HD DA55-300mm PLM Camera: K-3II Photo Location: Sydney, NSW ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/200s Aperture: F9

Another close-up view of the structural arch of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. It would be interesting to find out how many pages of structural calculations were needed for this bridge. And to think they had to do it the old fashioned way...

You beat me. I took it in 1980. I think I had a Texas Instruments TI53, or something like that, to help me out.
