The Falkirk Wheel and visitor centre (which always reminds me of a wedge of Gouda) https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/54393683814/in/dateposted/

An amazing feat of engineering, and also a great place to go and photograph: Strépy-Thieu boat lift / L'ascenseur funiculaire de Strépy-Thieu on a branch of the Canal du Centre at Le Rœulx, Hainaut, in Belgium.

Engineering at its most magnificent. The unique and uniquely beautiful Falkirk Wheel rotary boat lift opened in 2002. It fulfils a role originally accomplished by a flight of 11 locks when the Union Canal opened in 1822. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/falkirk/falkirkwheel/index.html

At the rather splendid Falkirk Wheel with dad. Elegant & practical piece of modern engineering, can't help but think those venerable, innovative engineers of yesteryear, like Brunel, would appreciate it.

A remarkably energy efficient boat lift that reconnected the Firth & Clyde Canal and Union Canal, from Edinburgh right to Glasgow & Clydebank.
