Waterwheel

Firstly with the thought of “I”, they cling to self, / And then with “mine”, they grow attached to things, / Helplessly, they wander like a turning waterwheel – To compassion for these beings, I bow down! Chandrakirti, Introduction to the Middle Way

Bale Grist Mill SHP / State Historic Park / The park is the site of a water-powered grist mill that was built in 1846. It was once the center of social activity as Napa Valley settlers gathered to have their corn and wheat ground into meal or flour. The owner of the mill was Dr. Edward Turner Bale. He received the property in a land grant from the Mexican government and lived near the site until his death in 1849. The mill remained in use until the early 1900s. The mill and its 36-foot water wheel are protected as a state historic landmark and have been partially restored. A trail connects the historic park to Bothe-Napa Valley State Park. Additionally, the park includes the site of the first church in the Napa Valley as well as the Pioneer Cemetery. The gristmill and granary were built with local materials, Douglas firs and coast redwoods. Some timbers were cut to length with the bark left on, while others were roughed out with hand tools. The timbers were notched and held in place with wooden pegs as well as nails and screws. The foundation of the structure is native stone. The mill was powered by a waterwheel, with water diverted from Mill Creek nearby. A ditch carried the water from a millpond to a wooden flume, which brought the water to the top of the waterwheel. The first wheel did not provide enough power during dry summers and was replaced by a larger one, similar to the one at the mill today. Farmers brought grain to the mill where it was placed into the boot of an elevator to be mechanically transported upstairs where it was cleaned by various types of equipment. The slow turning of the old grind stones and the dampness of the mill’s site gave the meal a special quality for making cornbread, yellowbread, shortening bread and spoon bread. As old timers put it, “When meal comes to you that way, like the heated underside of a settin’ hen, it bakes bread that makes city bread taste like cardboard.” / See also the B&W version: /

Remains of an old dock system. / Spotted on the shoreline of Lake of Two Mountains, Quebec, Canada on Tuesday May 27th/08. Had to climb over a rocky shore to get these shots and trespass on someone’s property. I was intrigued by this large wheel encased in cement and rocks projecting from the waterline. My husband explained it is part of an old dock system. He remembers having one similar at camp when he was a kid.

The John P. Cable Mill Flume – Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA. The mill flume was a device used by Cades Cove’s pioneers to divert water from a stream to power a mill. The water turned a large waterwheel by falling on the large paddles. The power generated by the water and wheel were very important to residents living in the cove. The grist mill was capable of grinding corn into meal, wheat into flour and more. The waterwheel was also used to power saw mills. This meant construction of buildings could take place with out the use of an entire logs, making the lumber much easier to manage. > Other works in the Cade’s Cove Collection: Companion Piece http://images-1.redbubble.com/img/art/border:blackwithdetail/product:laminated-print/size:small/view:preview/1223691-1-the-tipton-place.jpg!:http://www.redbubble.com/products/configure/4160293

My work is digital photography altered to appear as an oil painting – This is an old waterwheel mill along a canal in Caen, Normandy region of France. This is just a few miles from the D-Day landing beaches, and site of a crucial battle to link the two separate American landing beaches (Utah and Omaha)-My work really stands out when printed on canvas.
