Helix Park.

This is my take on the park which covers over 350 hectares and opened to the public in 2013 with the Kelpies (Horses) following in 2014, Standing at 30 metres tall, and weighing over 300 tonnes each, The Kelpies are the world’s largest equine sculptures,
The waterway on the left is the Forth and Clyde canal which also featured in previous images from the Falkirk Wheel, This is a link to one of the series Happy Crew.

Large for full details please and a wonderful Friday and a terrific weekend to all.

I've seen quite a few photos of the Kelpies on here, but this is the first one I've seen that shows them in the context of the park as well........so thanks for that!

You've captured the Kelpies in super detail and I love the mountains in the background. The park looks really beautiful and I had no idea it was alongside the canal.

A fantastic shot Roger..!!

Thank you for those excellent comments Keith
I think when visiting popular attractions finding an alternative angle is important, sometimes it works, and often it doesn't, in this case the canal was too good to leave out!
