A tourist boat on the Union Canal prepares to enter the final section before the Falkirk boat lift delivers it the 35m back down to sea level. A large view appreciated! ,,,,, HFF!

An orange canal boat full of passengers floating in a caisson is lifted 115 feet (ca. 35 m) before docking into the high level section of the Union Canal, For an idea of size see people outside the glass fronted visitor center. This is the Falkirk Wheel, a unique rotating boat lift which was built as a Millennium project and links the Union Canal with the Forth and Clyde Canal, Pips show progress through the lift,......... Large view recommended! A brief history for anyone interested. www.canaljunction.com/attraction/falkirk-wheel.htm

The boat in the main images has just been raised 24 metres (79 ft), on the Falkirk Wheel boat lift, A series of three pips show progress as One boat is lowered and One raised, in all three images the waterproof plate that keeps the tray full of water can be seen, Once the wheel has reached the top and has been locked in place the plate is lowered and water levels equalised, The fourth pip is a previously posted image with a longer view of the boat lift, Full information and facts of the wheel here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkirk_Wheel Strongly recommend a large view, Finally, a musical link, www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK62tfoCmuQ
