Archimedes Principle at Work Here

Amazing forethought and engineering!

Old principle, new technology applied.

Beautiful, elegant, efficient and functional.

That's pretty cool! Thanks!

Been there. It's brilliant. The sculpture below, known as The Kelpies isn't far away. They're about 30m tall, very impressive
