This print captures the timeless beauty of water wheels on the Orontes River in Hama, Syria. The image showcases a harmonious blend of ancient Roman architecture and contemporary life, providing a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of this Middle Eastern city. The water wheels, also known as norias, stand tall against the backdrop of clear blue skies, their wooden frames painted in vivid colors that add an element of charm to the scene. These impressive structures have been used for centuries to harness the power of flowing water for irrigation purposes, symbolizing both ingenuity and sustainability.
