Hello Beverley,
An amazing photo of the Wheel, you had so much better weather than when I was there. The elegant design looks fantastic in front of the green and blue background and the small boats are well included in the foreground.

Hello Bev,

Like Gert I was curious about how the barges got from point A to point B so I looked at a You-tube video. The boat at the bottom is arriving for upwards transport via the wheel and the one at the top is departing. I have been through a loch on the Yangzi River 3 Gorges in China and that was an interesting experience. Tfs!

Hi Bev
you made one mistake.
that WS should be saved as a main post! haha :) its THAT good.
the WS is bold and shows how massive this structure is. this main post is more artistic, and almost like a postcard (in a good way - you know i love postcard views). and I recall saying to you I don't think I've ever seen this before....well, I take it back. Now that you've posted this main view, I HAVE seen this before, its very familiar now.
you're right, a thing of beauty and while also being a great technological beast. what a wonderful shot in this light. cheers

Hi Beverley
Amazing piece of engineering. An appealing shot of this iconic structure showing the site in good detail and I like the bright and rich colours just winning it in my opinion. A very well done shot with your informative text! Congrats
Best regards

This is indeed amazing. I had to explore online to find a video to actually understand its mechanics and overall function. Does it only lift these barges or any small boats meeting the dimensions of the lift? Can people ride these boats through the lift? Be an interesting ride. I have not seen anything like it in the US. Really cool to see !!! Thanks
