Modern Ruins. Photography by Christian Brüning. 8:36:04 PM     |

Signs. Handpainted. Monumental. Neon. Plastic. They're all at Signs. Via iconomy, which seems to be very quiet at present. Unfortunately. 9:47:12 AM     |

Modern Technology. The Falkirk Wheel. This thing is amazing. It sits in the Scottish landscape like some forgotten prop of a Star Wars movie. Only it's for real, and it works. The Falkirk Wheel is the world's only rotating boatlift and is used to connect the Forth & Clyde and Union canals in central Scotland. Websites are here and here (the last one is an awkward Flash site). Thanks to David Taylor for the link. Update: Armin has some amazing pictures of the wheel on his World Tour of Scotland website. He also pointed me to the official website. 9:32:31 AM     |
