Zorki 4 - Bridges - January 2015

Life got in the way over the last few months  and I have missed a couple of months. This month the camera is my Zorki 4 from 1973 - the lens is a Jupiter 8 50 mm lens, also from 1973. As I usually do, I am using Agfa Vista+ colour negative film which has been processed and scanned for me by Snappy Snaps in Lincoln. My topic for January 2015 is bridges.

As most cities do, Lincoln has a river running through it - the Witham - and the Sincil which is a drain (canal) dating to Roman times. These both have a number of bridges over them as do the railway lines.

As well as bridges in Lincoln, I have also photographed the Humber Bridge in the north of the county of Lincolnshire. This road bridge links Lincolnshire to East Yorkshire and was at one time the longest single span bridge in the world - the distance between the towers is one mile.
