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.

The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift in central Scotland, connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. The lift is named after Falkirk, the town in which it is located. It reconnects the two canals for the first time since the 1930s. It opened in 2002 as part of the Millennium Link project.
The wheel raises boats by 24 metres (79 ft), but the Union Canal is still 11 metres (36 ft) higher than the aqueduct which meets the wheel. Boats must also pass through a pair of locks between the top of the wheel and the Union Canal. The Falkirk Wheel is the only rotating boat lift of its kind in the world, and one of two working boat lifts in the United Kingdom, the other being the Anderton Boat Lift.
A wheel for operating the Contarex polarization filter (Contapol) from Zeiss-Ikon.
By turning the gear wheel, the polarizing filter is turned and reflections can be masked out selectively.

Ein Zahnrad zur Betätigung des Contarex Polarisationsfilters (Contapol) von Zeiss-Ikon.
Durch Drehung des Zahnrades wird das Pol-Filter gedreht und Reflexe können punktuell ausgeblendet werden.
I took this from a Seattle Ferry of the Seattle Great Wheel when they were first building and installing it. Cranked up the HDR to show details in all of the different building textures

Preoccupied and busy, with our eyes glued to electronic screens, we think we have control of time.
But nature keeps her own calendar.
Colours fade, petals fall, seeds harden, the garden closes itself with or without my help.
Round and round go the hands of time.
Crimea, Mezhvodnoe.
A person, who values the beauty of nature and ambient in the world, for richer and happier than those, who did not notices this.
another one from the local fair (which will open on Saturday) ... i like the effect of the branches. makes it somehow look dangerous ^^
The large red-eyed damselfly (Erythromma najas) is a striking damselfly known for its typical mating behavior. Here are the key facts: Mating and egg-laying: Females only come to the water to mate and lay eggs. The male often approaches the female with a "dancing flight." Mating wheel: During mating, the damselflies form a so-called mating wheel. In this position, the male holds the female behind the head with his abdominal appendages, while the female bends her abdomen towards the male's genitals. Tandem egg-laying: After mating, the male and female often continue to lay eggs in "tandem" (coupled together). They usually deposit the eggs in aquatic plants, often on floating leaves of, for example, the water lily. Appearance: The male is easily recognizable by his bright red eyes, a largely black abdomen, and blue segments 9 and 10 at the tip. Females do not have red eyes. Flight period: The large red-eyed damselfly can be seen from early May to mid-August.
Must admit, I took a break from Flickr for a couple of days.
But anyways, this is the Wheel of Brisbane. Taken early in the morning, so that the lights were still on, which I think adds a bit more interest to the otherwise dark scene.
Thanks so much for all your faves and comments guys, really appreciate them! Have a great day!
