Stock Photo: Dutch Visor Type Gates In The Rhine Near Amerongen
ID 11165196 © 2circles | Megapixl.com
Visor gates make up a barrage in the river Low Rhine near a town called Amerongen (the Netherlands). They are shut because the water is dangerously low. The name derives from the ressemblance with the visors worn by the Middle Age Knights in their helmets. The gates are operating with wire rope hoists.
