I hope you enjoyed this "educational" boat lift series.This lift has also a 16.93m rise and was opened too in 1917. The elevators are double, consisting of two vertically mobile tanks or caissons, each supported in the center by an iron column. The two columns are hydraulically linked in such a way that one caisson rises as the other descends, the weight of one counterbalancing the weight of the other.

Hubert, we saw (in a row) the new boatlift of Strépy-Thieu, the inclined plane of Ronquières, the old boatlifts of Houdeng-Aimeries, Thieu and now Strépy-Braquegnies. Never knew that Belgium had that much technical masterpieces. I have to agree that that the series was not only pretty to see but educational as well. Thanks for the images and the 'lessons'. Regards, Cornelius

Verbeter de wereld, begin bij jezelf (improve the world, start with yourself).
Oh this one is lovely as well with the soft colors over the tree line.
Like Cornelius above here, i also had no idea that Belgium had such great waterworks. But it should not have come to a surprice, since you have much more hills than we have. I loved the series very much and have watched each image with great pleasure. Am curious to find out what you will post next !

In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10
Coming from Austria I know how important good, no great, waterwork is. So it is very interesting seeing how it works in Belgium and beside interesting, this is also a real good photo.
