Before there was electricity in the area of what now is called Crescent Moon Ranch and Red Rock Crossing. There was a need for power, so around 1937 this water wheel was installed to pump domestic ground water as well as irrigation water for crops from nearby Oak Creek. The creek water was pumped up to higher ground where gravity flow irrigation ditches could not reach.
This image was shot on film during 2001 in Sedona Arizona USA.
Water is power, Water is life. Amazing place...I always enjoy your photographic magic.

Water is life and life is good. I'm glad you enjoy it, thanks.
A simple yet highly effective process. It's actually pretty amazing technology for it's time. Cool photo capturing it.

Your right, so just keep that water flowing. It made life easier with greater potential. Thanks.
Cool picture! Those are some awesome looking trees you got in there. Must have been interesting living back then...
Also, I don't think you can film it like this anymore? Not sure if the fence was in there when you got this and just managed to get up over it, but there's a fence now and I'm not sure this angle is possible anymore. Either way, that's one of the better shots I've seen of that spot though! Great work.
Sure was nice color and light. Your right about the fence this was before they put it in so you can't get this shot now. Times change hey, thanks Paul.
What a unique photograph, I love it
