Wonderful photo! At first, I thought you might have photographed the wheel in Warm Springs. We haven’t visited this one yet. Thank you for sharing. Stay warm! WG

Wonderful picture! I love old water wheels. They somehow seem to symbolize a slower pace and simpler times.

Thanks Rita – it was sheer accident. I just got up close and clicked and it was with my cell phone camera.

I so agree Sheryl about water wheels recalling simpler times. I think they are rather majestic as well.

Thanks WG! I have seen the one in Warm Springs too. They are all beautiful in different ways, in different scenes and settings.

Actually, I did not take the picture of the water wheel with my new camera. It was a cell phone shot and one that came out perfectly clear. I called those my accidental winners, where I just clicked and got great results. Thanks for noticing Cindy. I have been practicing a bit with the new camera but not coming up with enough interesting photo ops.

Well with photo’s like that Dora you don’t need an IPad or Tablet whatever they are. Your cell phone does the job well enough I think.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no Rita. The cell won’t take night shots or those wondrous close ups of insects and hummingbirds in flight. It could be you are right though – the cell phone camera may be enough. We shall see. 🙂
