Hama, Syria - The Giant waterwheels on the Orontes River
Hama, Syria - The Giant waterwheels on the Orontes River. The city is renowned for these seventeen norias, which locals claim date back to 1100 BC. Though historically used for purpose of irrigation of the ornamental gardens, the norias exist today as an almost entirely aesthetic traditional show. Date: circa 1909
