Scott,

Thanks for the great images.
The first one seems timeless.
Why does it take that long to finish the bridge?

Well, maybe I am being conservative, but it's pretty finicky work. They are also doing about 10 km of tunnels. The part that is highest in the air has taken 2-3 years to get about half of the uphill roadbed connected. Before that there was some considerable time spent just preparing foundations for all the towers. And there is politics...

wow, nice construction images. Like the use of safety nets in the construction risk areas.

Here is a shot I took a while back in China from a moving train with my mobile phone, unfortunately I did not have an E-M1 yet. Suspect Em1 had not been released yet.

Wow, no nets! You'll notice that our nets all have stuff in them that has fallen. I had a long discussion on another forum around some Israeli construction pictures. People with US experience were horrified at our flimsy scaffolding. I bet the Chinese get things done fast, though.

have not seen much on this thread for a while, maybe most E-m1 users have migrated to E-M5ii s
I, without thought have been posting EM1 images on the OMD thread :facesmack:.
So here's one to redress the balance:

Oly 50-200 power cropped and processed in camera to closer! I think the 300mm f4.0 with the prescribed telelconverter would be most welcome here.

Popped into The Photographers' Gallery in London today to see the Saul Leiter exhibition;
there were a number of wonderful colour photographs, but I didn't like the way that the majority of the black and whites were hung, they were very small prints (see bottom left of my photo) and mainly grouped closely in sixes, which meant that you had to get up very close for quite some time to view a group, during which time nobody else could get a look in.
In the basement was another exhibition; Wolf Suschitzky's London.
Evocative images of London in the 30's & 40's - I wished that the Leiter had been curated as well as this was.
