Armata watermill
Armata, Epirus, Greece, may 2, 2005.
Claire is looking at a watermill. The mill stands along the mountain road that leads from Konitsa to Elefthero, Paleoselli and further eastwards to Armata. Small villages, where life has hardly been affected by modern times. In Paleoselli there have been a few watermills too.
In the middel you can clearly see the wheel that is turned by the water that comes out of the right tube. The left tube leads to a container that is used for washing sheepwool carpets and blankets/cloths (a typical product of the region).
My father in law Dimitrios offers my mother a helping hand when climbing the mill. In front you can see the saw blade.
