This photo was taken from the same vantage point as the previous photo, but it was taken with a 135mm (2.7x) telephoto lens, instead of the 50mm (1.0x) regular lens used previously. The slope to the right of the bridge, failed during recent heavy sustained rains, due to the fact that insufficient new grass was in place. The slope is being rebuilt. |
