Falkirk Wheel, the only rotating boat lift in the world. It consists of two counterbalanced arms shaped like a Celtic double-headed axe that rotate around a central axis. It connects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal in Scotland. (Time lapse) IG: @parametric.architecture

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
