Call me a geek, but I think this was one of the coolest things I saw during my roadtrip of Scotland and England last spring.
-
The Falkirk Wheel in central Scotland, is a rotating boat lift connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. The difference in the levels of the two canals at the wheel is 24 metres, roughly equivalent to the height of an eight storey building. In five and a half minutes, the wheel can lift two canal boats at the same time along with the water they are floating in. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: Lowland Scotland.

A section of the Union Canal, at Muiravonside Country Park close to Whitecross, Falkirk District, Scotland. This 31.5 mile contour canal travels from The Falkirk Wheel to Edinburgh. Popular features of this gentle lock-free waterway include the Avon, Almond (Linn’s Mill) and Slateford Aqueducts, which are among the finest in Britain.

The Falkirk Wheel – the world’s first and only rotating boat lift – was the eventual outcome of British Waterways collaboration with a design team that combined international experience of joint venture contractor Morrison-Bachy-Soletanche with leading specialists from Ove Arup Consultants, Butterley Engineering and Scotland-based RMJM architects. This image depicts the top level of the wheel looking down the union canal. The lift, and any barge on it, would then rotate and lower the boat onto the Forth and Clyde Canal below.

Long exposure capturing the rotation of the Falkirk Wheel in Scotland – the world’s first revolving canal boat lift. It takes approximately 4 minutes to fully rotate and lifts boats up to the next level of the canal. An amazing piece of architechtural design and engineering, apparently it only takes the equivalent power of boiling a kettle to power each rotation. / * / / Location: Falkirk, Central Scotland / / Copyright © Donald Cameron 2009 / Monophotography.co.uk / /

This rather strange little hut is situated beside the end of the Union Canal just before the tunnel which leads to the Falkirk Wheel on the outskirts of Falkirk, Scotland. I have no idea what the hut is used for. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: Lowland Scotland.

turn like the tide in the moonlight / rotate like the wheel’s coming loose / it’s a wonderful thing, to behold such a sight / it’s as if you’ve been hustled, vamoose! good god it’s amazing you settle / and dance with such grace, such aplomb / and to think that the steam from a kettle / could drive you, could so spur you on four minutes of fizz and you’re flying / suspending the passengers high / and what makes the motion surprising / is you’re moving in synch with the sky —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Location: Falkirk Wheel, Falkirk, Scotland © Donald Cameron 2009 / Monophotography.co.uk See the shot from my previous visit here for more info on the wheel, which explains the references in the poem to steam and the kettle.
