Tuesday Photo Challenge – Wheel

Welcome to week 159 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!

After a great week of Technology, I thought it would be fun to switch to some early technology that has affected humanity’s advancement over the ages; so this week, the theme is Wheel! Of course, the Wheel comes in all shapes and sizes, and it can be a noun or a verb. I think that this might give all of you some room for exploration and creative expression, to which I very much look forward!!

So let’s wheel around and have a blast with this theme!

Here’s a wheel of great power…

Archimedes at Work!

The Falkirk Wheel is a creative solution to reduce the number of locks that have to be traversed in order to overcome a height difference between canals. This wheel raises boats by 24 meters, so that they need to traverse only 2 additional locks to overcome the remaining 11 meters of difference between the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal. It’s an impressive machine to see in action!

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

Spin the wheel and see what rolls for you!!

    Wow – that is an impressive machine. I love how you captured its size compared to the onlookers and the scene in the background. Lovely leading lines as per usual!

    There is something very pleasing about the way this photo has 3 distinct columns, and travels from background to foreground from left to right, really like this.

    I love looking at technology and thinking..how in the world did they come up with that. Amazing piece and photograph.

      Thank you! It’s a nicely balanced application of Archimedes’ principle of displacement of water. Beautiful engineering!

    Great shot of the Falkirk Wheel – I’ve seen it once, barely, on a very gloomy and misty day. On my list to revisit and ride on it!
    Talk me a while to choose a wheel for my response – went for a collection instead of making a choice: https://travelwithintent.com/2019/05/08/big-wheels/
