Väga huvitav ja põnev insener-tehniline lahendus, juba selle idee peale annab tulla. Ja tohutult ilus vaatamisväärsus muidugi. Suurel rahval julged ideed. Hea oleks, kui meilegi kerkiks taolisi rajatisi, aga meie riigihangete süsteem, mis rõhub eelkõige odavusele, nulliks sellised ideed eos.
The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. It is named after the nearby town of Falkirk in central Scotland.
