The “Bolt of Lightning” sculpture by artist Peter Naylor stands proudly beside the M62 at Burtonwood, Warrington.
Created as a lasting tribute to the men and women who served and worked at RAF Burtonwood — once Europe’s largest US airbase during the Second World War — the monument captures the energy of flight and the enduring spirit of innovation, courage and remembrance.
Photographed at night to highlight its striking form and illumination against the northern sky.

"Stations Bridge" (2004) by artist/desingers Langlands & Bell is one of a series of new pedestrian bridges incorporated into the regeneration of Paddington Basin (masterplan by architect Terry Farrell).
The blue Helix Bridge designed by Marcus Taylor is one of a number of innovative bridges incorporated into the regeneration of Paddington Basin. The distinctive feature of the Helix Bridge is that it retracts by rotating like a corkscrew. The buildings under construction are at Merchant Square, the final phase of the Paddington Basin redevelopment . beyond that is waterside House by Rogers, Stirk, Harbour.
A short drive from the Kelpies took us to see the Falkirk Wheel. A couple of weeks before, we had spent a weekend on a canal boat on the |Llangollen Canal. After manoeuvring Welsh canal locks and swing bridges, the Falkirk Wheel was a must-see destination.

Just as the Anderton Boat Lift near Northwich lifts canal boats from the River Weaver Navigation to the Trent & Mersey Canal The Falkirk Wheel serves a similar purpose but in a different way. My photos show the Wheel in operation at different stages of a lift operation.
“The world's one and only rotating boat lift. A marvel of engineering and Scottish Canals' flagship destination, The Falkirk Wheel. Connecting the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal in a half-turn that takes only five minutes!”
