The bridge was classed as a "Fracture Critical" bridge with "No Redundancy". Meaning if a member falls that would likely cause a portion of, or the entire bridge to collapse. Incorporation of redundancies is the preferred method in present day bridges. This brifge is one of 17,468 Fracture Critical bridges in the US today out of 615,000 total bridges.

Original post in Chat, was told to post in photos.
July '22 saw article on a contest in UK about photos of the noon. Saw it was over but there was a website if you wanted to send ohotos for them to look at. Sent this one on a Wednesday night. Saturday morning got a message from the Royal Museums Greenwich, London asking if they could post it in their archives. Yes, you can, and now I have my photo in a museum in London. Great feeling.

Shot this image in 2022. In July of 2023 I saw competition in th UK about moon images. With my luck the competition was over but they had a website in the article to send your photos for them to look at. I sent this one on Wednesday night without thought of anything happening just for them to look at. On Saturday morning there was a message from the Royal Museums Greenwick, London. They wanted to know if they could add the photo to their archives. I gave my permission and now have a photo there in the archives.

Good thought about using digital camera for exposure instead of auto exposure on the A1.
When i get ready I will try that for some shots. Hope that is not cheating.

My 50+ year old memory was off the name of Omega. It was an experimental system they were trying out. Omega was replaced by GPS later.

Thanks for ideas. That was quick. Yes I do shoot digital. Have for years. Mostly nature and landscape when I vacation but that will be in July. Once I review the manual and relearn the film camera I will give it a try.

I just was given a Canon A-1 very good condition and workable (after getting new battery from Amazon).
Looking for ideas of subject matter that would be worth shooting a roll of film and prosessing cost. I have a new roll of Fuji 200 to use.
Any ideas?
