Subject: The Falkirk Wheel (Canal Boating in Scotland) |
Hi all,
In last Saturday's Wall Street Journal there was an article about a fascinating device that was built in Falkirk, Scotland to serve as a boat lift to connect a couple of canals. Eleven locks were replaced by this space age/modernistic sculpture called the Falkirk Wheel. If you want to see something truly amazing go to http://www.thefalkirkwheel.co.uk or for an animation of the wheel in action try http://www.falkirkwheel.info/ I've got to get up there to see this thing in action!
