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.
One from a year ago. The sun setting on a dropping tide, with wet rocks freshly exposed. These layers of rock always fascinate me. The Mercy wheel is by A A Bondy, and there is a likeness to spokes on a wheel.

Wheel taken from the same vantage point as the previous shot, but later in the day after the fall of dark
another one from the local fair (which will open on Saturday) ... i like the effect of the branches. makes it somehow look dangerous ^^
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!
