Hama, Norias (hölzerne Schöpfräder) schaufeln quietschend das Wasser aus dem Orontes in die Aquädukte
2006 Hama, Syria
The norias of Hama are giant wooden waterwheels built along the Orontes River to lift water into aqueducts for irrigation, some designs dating back centuries. This photograph, taken in 2006, shows one of the historic wheels in the Syrian city of Hama.
