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.

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.

Le pont du Pays de Liège est un pont autoroutier inauguré début juin 2000 lors de l'ouverture de la liaison liaison E40-E25 à la circulation, il permet d'enjamber la Meuse et de relier ainsi Angleur à Cointe. Établi par le bureau d'étude Greisch, il est d'une longueur de 162 mètres.
Le pont est du type à haubans.
En venant de Cointe vers les Ardennes, il se compose successivement :
la culée en rive gauche de la Meuse
d'une travée de 31,5m sur le Quai Banning
d'une travée de 162m sur la Meuse.
du pylône d'une hauteur de 70m
d'une culée contre-poids d'une longueur de 134m.
La travée sur la Meuse et la culée contre-poids sont soutenus par 22 haubans chacun.
La travée sur la Meuse a été réalisée par poussage depuis la rive droite de la Meuse.
La culée contre-poids constitue la première partie du tunnel de Kinkempois.
The Liège Country Bridge is a motorway bridge inaugurated in early June 2000 with the opening of the E40-E25 interchange to traffic. It spans the Meuse River, connecting Angleur to Cointe. Designed by the engineering firm Greisch, it is 162 meters long.
The bridge is a cable-stayed type.
Coming from Cointe towards the Ardennes, it consists of the following sections:
the abutment on the left bank of the Meuse
a 31.5m span on the Quai Banning
a 162m span over the Meuse
a 70m high pylon
a 134m long counterweight abutment.
The span over the Meuse and the counterweight abutment are each supported by 22 cables.
The span over the Meuse was built using the launching method from the right bank of the Meuse.
The counterweight abutment forms the first section of the Kinkempois Tunnel.

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.

i've taken several photos of this church. see two other compositions in the comment boxes below:
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 Roughcastle Tunnel connects the Union Canal, coming from Edinburgh, to the Falkirk Wheel's remarkable modern boat lift, which in turn connects that waterway to the Forth and Clyde canal, which continues on to Glasgow, effectively connecting the east and west coast cities and their large rivers (and thence to the sea).
While other tunnels and cutting are original, hand cut or blasted by teams of "navvies" a couple of centuries ago, this is actually a modern structure. As the Millennium Link project was regenerating the long-neglected canals, clearing them, restoring lost sections filled in over the years of disuse, this was created to reconnect the two waterways, running below both the main railway line and the ancient line of the Roman-era Antonine Wall.
It also boasts a simple but rather nice lighting installation inside, which cycles through different colour tones, projecting them onto one half of the arched wall - I didn't know I'd be here that day, or I'd have brought my tripod to take better pics, but visiting dad and we decided on a whim to go to the Wheel, so had to make do with these handheld shots.
Linn Cove Viaduct is a 1243-foot concrete segmental bridge on the Blue Ridge Parkway which snakes around the slopes of Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. It was completed in 1983 at a cost of $10 million and was the last section of the Blue Ridge Parkway to be finished. To ride across and get a close look at this engineering marvel, drive north on the Parkway for 78 miles from Asheville to Milepost 304.

Silos in the industrial part of the Malmö harbour. Malmö was quite an industrial city but many of the former industry areas are now developed as posh residential neighbourhoods. These silos are witnesses of this industrial time. The graffitist doing the graffiti was performing a quite dangerous job...

Standing outside this century old barn, I looked up to see an aircraft flying overhead and thought of how far we'd come. The barn featured a unique swing beam construction that allowed a team of horses, hitched to a wagon, to turn around without having to back up. Horses apparently don't like to walk backwards so this made life easier for farmer and animal alike. When you compare that marvel of practical engineering to the complexity of the plane, it seems there are no limits to what we can accomplish.

My second entry in this months competition on Bridges.
Had a few days away in Bristol so couldn't really visit without seeing and taking an image of the magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge.
It spans the river Avon and has a remarkable history which is well worth reading about.
The original design was of Isambard Kingdom Brunel .
Spanning over 702 ft and 249ft above the Avon it had the longest span of any bridge in the world at the time of its construction.
