Canal in the sky !

An image shot in 16.9 so a large view would be appreciated.

An alternative view of the Falkirk rotating boat lift, opened in 2002 and replacing a flight of 11 locks that once stepped the Union Canal down to the level of the Forth & Clyde, more than 100 feet below. That saved manually opening and closing 44 lock gates a short trip that took almost a day can now be done in just a few minutes. Boats are lifted 35 meters to the Union canal shown in this image.

The futuristic wooden building on the right is visitor centre

Wish you a nice Friday and a good weekend.
