The Roughcastle Tunnel was built as part of the Millennium Link project to carry the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal beneath the Antonine Wall, and it forms the southern approach to the Falkirk Wheel. The tunnel is short, straight and of circular section. The sides have been formed by sprayed concrete, and both entrances are of simple form. There is a railed footpath on the East side of the waterway. The 180m long tunnel links the Union Canal onto the aqueduct, providing a dramatic moment along the canal network. Naturally a dark space, the new lighting design provides an immersive experience, with dynamic and responsive lighting. The standard lighting mode is deliberately set to low, with only selected fixtures on the towpath side illuminated to a low level. When a person approaches (by boat, foot or cycle) a light scene is activated to suit the time of day, year or occasion – this is energy, safety and environmentally aware. A vibrant wash of colour ripples across full length of the tunnel in a rhythm that connects visually with the ribcage structure of the Wheel hoops further along the aqueduct. The result is a very flexible, dynamic and autonomous installation, which can also be tailored to suit specific events or occasions.

I found the colour changes very exciting and dramatic.

In 1911, the old Elbe tunnel was built to provide a new direct route for dock workers from the St. Pauli Piers or 'Landungsbrücken' over to the Southern banks of the Elbe river. Initially a technical innovation, the tunnel became a tourist attraction when the 'new' Elbtunnel and several bridges were built in the 1970s. Now, elevators carry pedestrians and bicyclists into the deep tunnel. Message from IMA: The cause for the upload problems has now been found. Only one of the two parallel upload servers at the Amazon web service reacted to user requests. This error is now fixed. (Why this happened is still unclear. Since mid-April (integration of the new frontpage and the new "thank you!") the ipernity code had not been touched. Christophe is going to ask the former programmers about it However, the fact that both servers now accept uploads again revealed another bug: Apparently the automatic background synchronization of the two servers does not work completely either. Although no data is lost, it is not always displayed in full when retrieved. Tomorrow morning, Qwellcode will try to fix this as well. Then the ipernity software should be reinitialized at AWS to set a new recovery point. Best regards Bernhard

This was at the end of the tunnel leading to Blåsjø reservoir in July! The road up to the reservoir is closed from September onward at least for eight or nine months of the year. The tunnel was open to pedestrians only, and it was very slippery. To reach the reservoir I had to be helped up a steep snow slope. I hadn't packed the correct footwear for summertime in Norway!
