EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Morocco around 1930, showcases an intriguing scene of a camel-powered water wheel. Located in this North African country, this image transports us back in time to an era when technology was simple yet ingenious. The image features several men, dressed in traditional Moroccan attire, working together to harness the power of camels to turn the water wheel. The camels, with their humps proudly standing tall, are tethered to the wheel, their strength and energy used to pump water from a nearby source. The water wheel, with its large wooden spokes and intricate design, gracefully turns, supplying much-needed water to the community. The scene is a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the people of Morocco, who, in the absence of modern technology, found a way to harness the power of animals to meet their basic needs. The image also highlights the strong bond between the men and their animals, with the camel keepers skillfully managing the animals to ensure the smooth operation of the water wheel. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of a simpler time, where the connection between people and animals was deeply rooted, and the power of community and innovation came together to meet the most basic of needs. It is a snapshot of a unique moment in history, one that showcases the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit.
