2nd Google search of the day

So, the Bridge of 33 Arches led us to a site that had pictures of the Engineering Wonders of the World which led me to look up pictures and information on the Falkirk Wheel.  Joe and I watched a special about this on TV several years ago and it was SO cool to learn about - it just opened for use in 2002 so it's pretty new.
Here's the Google link to all the pictures of the wheel

and here's the Wikipedia page with all the information about it, complete with some links to stop-action photos of it in motion.
