The Falkirk Wheel is a unique boat lift in the world. It replaces a series of 11 locks linking the canals from Glasgow to Edinburgh. The Falkirk rotary lift has a diameter of 35 metres and lowers or raises ships to a height of 25 metres. A set of double doors allows the boat to enter on one side and to leave on the other side. The wheel turns the two caissons, each weighing 300 tonnes, while the gearing system keeps them perfectly horizontal.
'This is the Brooklyn Bridge! I took this shot while walking across the bridge.
IF you had difficulties finding this photo, and my other recent ones, it is because Flickr's Activity Feed is not functioning for many of us. They are aware of the problem and say they are working to fix it. In the meantime please stop by to check on my status. Thank you.
This is Engineering on a Small Scale..........it was by my nephew Stephen who is suffering from Parkinson's disease................
This is in the back garden of the house we have lived in for about 40 years, and this is first time I have noticed the manufacturer's name on the manhole cover (unless I've seen it before and forgotten).
One of the most vivid memories I have from my primary school years was visiting the Dover Engineering Works with my school. It's not surprising that seeing molten iron poured from a ladle into a mould from close quarters would make a lasting impression on a child. I can still see clearly in my mind the wooden pattern they had made of our school's badge being pressed into the compacted black sandy material in the mould. The pattern was then removed and the top half of the mould filled with more compacted material was fitted. Small holes to allow the escape of burning gas were made in the material. When the molten iron was poured into the mould, sure enough, jets of flame appeared from these holes. When the mould was eventually stripped, there was the grey/silver replica of the wooden pattern.
When the company was established in 1830 it was on the outskirts of Dover in the parish of Charlton, with a supply of water from the adjacent River Dour. Charlton has since been absorbed by Dover, and the engineering works is of course gone - with the site now occupied by a supermarket.
The daffodils and blossom do their best to brighten a dull Saturday morning. Engineering on the Stour Valley Line sees GBRf's 66755 trundle through Coseley with 6G56 from Basford Hall Yard to Dudley Port.
Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. Not happy with this one, but will have to do for now as I wanted a general shot of the department building and I did find the staircase interesting!
Carquinez Bridges, and yet another perspective of these structures. My go to spot at 4am.
Shot with the tack sharp Nikon 70-200 f/4. Thanks for looking.
genetic engineering
could create the perfect race
could create an unknown life-force
that could us exterminate
introducing worker clone
as our subordinated slave
his expertise proficiency
will surely dig our grave
it's so tempting
will biologists resist
when he becomes the creator
will he let us exist
bionic man is jumping
through the television set
he's about to materialise
and guess who's coming next

Yeah i love my green lotus! What i tried to do in this picture was create the sort of picture you would see in a magazine, maybe with some text beside it endorsing lotus's engineering skills. I don't know, but i hope you enjoy!
The first of five engineering trains booked to pass within an hour, Colas’ 56049 Robin of Templecombe 1938-2013 rolls past Stapleton Road on 15/09/2024 with 6C24 08:30 Little Mill Junction-Westbury Down TC.
In the end, four ran, with the first two passing by before the cloud rolled in.

UP 2666 and another Tier 4 ET44AH lead northbound UP Engineering Special PJCPR2 through Villa Grove after a heck of a rainstorm. Luckily, its late departure out of Jefferson City, MO allowed me to get a shot of it after work.
The engineering marvel of Ribbleshead Viaduct pales into insignificance as darkness falls on a clear summer night.
Union Pacific Engineering Special pulled by SD70Ace 1111, Powered By the People rolls through Des Plaines IL. on the New Line at Howard St.
Concorde, at the Aviation Viewing Platform at Manchester Airport. The construction you can see at the right of the photo will eventually house this fantastic aircraft.

An unusual mid-week engineering possession on the ECML between Grantham and Doncaster has resulted in diversions to long distance passenger trains via the joint line through Lincoln.
One such diversion is 1D06, the 07:30 London King's Cross - Leeds service which is pictured passing Peakirk formed of LNER liveried IEP “Azuma” bi-mode units 800208 and 801103.
I rarely see shots of the new Engineering Building at BYU in snowy conditions. I captured this picture for future reference.

The warm glow from a setting sun is reflected off the concrete spillway cells of the Murray Lock & Dam. The dam sits under the Big Dam Bridge on the Arkansas River in Little Rock. The dam & lock is part of a series of similar structures to facilitate commercial vessel navigation on the Arkansas River all the way up to Tulsa, OK.
Just after sunrise, and with the morning mist over the fields, 56090 leads the late running 6C83, 04.20 Battersby to Doncaster Up Decoy engineers train, past Shipton-by-Benningbrough. 56096 on the rear
