Last week involved high adventure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most adventurous was inspection of Conway Scenic’s Willey Brook Bridge in Crawford Notch (NH)\u2014From below track level\u2014by climbing through the girders with ropes, and abseiling the central support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All activities in accordance with proper procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve accompanied bridge inspector Wayne Duffett of TEC Associates on several of Conway Scenic’s bridge inspections, but this one was by far the most memorable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made my photos using a Lumix LX7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a time an a place for a big camera, and times and places for small ones. A 4×5 studio camera would not have been well suited for this day’s photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplemental photography was supplied by Wayne’s pocket Nikon AW130 digital camera (a water proof model).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there I am among the girders.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not a place to visit if you have a fear of falling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I don’t fear heights, but that first step is a doozie! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
