Great capture and very original interpretation of parallel lines.
Would like to see this cropped to include just the head and shoulders of both birds to see if it has even more impact ?
Good work..8

This was a much better shot, in my opinion, than the final placing suggests.

Don`t be downheartened..shots that are a little different tend not to do as well as they deserve.

Terrific capture..especially under the circumstances.

The Falkirk Wheel
by geewhy

Comment:
No, it is recreational..the barges are run by various private concerns and take tourists up and down the canals.
Basically, the set-up is ..two canals
A)Forth and Clyde..going from Grangemouth to Glasgow (Built 1780)
B)Union Canal..Going from Edinburgh to Falkirk.(Built 1820)
The two canals joined at Falkirk originally by a series of locks dropping down from the Union to the Forth&Clyde..at that time it was commercial traffic mainly.
By the 1930`s trade had dropped off and the locks were dismantled and filled in, leaving the two canals isolated.
It was decided to re-open the whole system for the Millenium and the Wheel was devised as a modern way of relinking the canals...but now it`s for tourism and recreation only.
If you are interested to know or see more Paolo,it has it`s own website

Hope this has been of help.
