The Falkirk Wheel

[John Ellis]

While having a day at this terrific engineering project I took the following images.......comments would be welcome.

That’s an amazing piece of engineering; I heard it only takes the same amount of energy to turn the wheel as it does to boil a kettle. It's a shame it was such a dull day maybe if it was a bit brighter the wheel wouldn't have looked so grainy, that’s a good picture of the fence as well LOL.:-)

I can't imagine ever being bored with Falkirk Wheel pics.
