Let's Go Back In Time - Part 14
It's time to continue my photo series taken at the Astra Museum situated in Sibiu, Romania.
This is what a watermill looked like centuries ago. Unfortunately I don't have a closer photo, the museum is huge and it takes a whole day, from morning to evening to visit and photograph all. At least for me it does because I always want to photograph everything.
So there's the big wooden wheel that was placed in the water so the water power rotate the stones that were grinding the grain. Next to the big wheel you can see the so called "washing machine" that was made of wood and operated by the water.
Another water powered mill, that was so popular in those days. This is build uphill because it's part of the museum now but it was on water when it was functioning.
Another one made of stone this time and you can see the big stone that was used to grind grain.
Side view of the same mill, with two wooden made wheels. As you can see, all roofs are made of shingle.
Another one, a little cute one this time.
As you can see the water came from above, and could be controlled as it needed. One way was to the mill, the other to the "washing machine", which was that wooden structure made of wooden boards.

Thank you very much.
No prob @erikah!
Always so nice and interesting to see the old school stuff life was tough then but much happier environment i would say :)
You might be right my friend, I guess people were appreciated little things much more than today. Life was simple and good. Sorry for the late reply, I missed this somehow :)
Not a problem my friend in today's world there is to much on offer and it makes people greedy and spoiled unfortunately :)
I'm not sure I fully understand you but I truly hope you're not calling me greedy :)
No..No..not you my friend of course not let me rephrase that the young generation of people are to spoiled and greedy these days and the governments are mostly all corrupt :(
Oh, what a relief, I though you are referring to me 😀
Well, unfortunately the younger generation is very different, which can be good but mostly it is not, and about the governments, I agree with you. In most countries they work for themselves, not for the people.
I would never say anything bad about you my friend you are very kind , helpful and respectful towards people and i have always appreciated your help :)
Have a great weekend my friend...Cheers :)
Aww, how sweet, likewise, I feel the same about you, I'm lucky to have you as a friend. You too have a great weekend, have fun 😀
