In an monumental feat of engineering, The Kelpies rose from the ground in just 90 days, in late 2013. Construction of The Kelpies began on 17th June 2013. The two enormous structures were manufactured and installed by SH Structures Limited. In a remarkable feat of engineering, the sculptures rose out of the ground in a stunning construction process, captured in all its glory by Walid Salhab in his dramatic time-lapse stop-motion film. The build was officially completed on 27th November 2013, and was celebrated with a 'topping-out' ceremony featuring Duke and Baron, the Clydesdale life models for The Kelpies.
Very grateful to my patient friend....
Both Aaron and my friend take turns to wheel me around....
Kids always find me fascinating..
The first they looked at was my legs....
Cos I have one leg with a brown boot and one with a pink sock....
Well...able or disabled, one must not give up easily...
Though there may some inconveniences, they can be overcome...
Let us cross the hurdles one step at a time, no matter how tough it is....
In life, nothing is smooth sailing...
Where there are difficulties, they strengthen us....
Give Thanks in all circumstances and we will sail through....
