This is a really impressive piece of engineering, Peter. I like that you've taken the photos from the upper canal end.

Hi Amelia

Thank you so much!! Needless to say I took a lot, but I think this one shows how it works so much better, (and a few people on the path to give it scale).

Best Wishes
Peter

I echo Andy's comments above ~ This is on my list of places to visit when next up North ~ All the best ~ Nick

Thank you Nick,

Certainly from an engineering point of view it is an amazing solution!
Glad you like it!

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter, I have seen many pictures of this but it never ceases to amaze me!
I also agree with the other two comments :)

Best regards, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic visit. I too was very impressed when I figured out that it will balance exactly, irrespective of the size and load of the boats in it!
Needless to say I had photos from all round the place, but I preferred this one, maybe the same reasons as everybody else!

Best Wishes

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve ,
Thank you for visiting!
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
On the grounds that I probably would not be returning for a long time (if ever), I spent a long time walking round and photographing from every which way I could think of to clearly show how it works... This was the one I chose!

Best Wishes and a Good Weekend,
Peter

Utterly fascinating and a well chosen point of view!
