Route 288 construction, looking south from Lucks Lane. 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 telephoto lens exaggerates the amount of horizontal curvature on the highway, as the curve will be safe at 65 mph. |
