The image is a black and white photograph of an old water wheel on the side of a river. The wheel is made of metal and appears to be old and weathered, with rust and peeling paint. It is mounted on a wooden structure with a metal railing on the left side and a stone wall on the right side. The water is flowing over the wall, creating a small waterfall. The image is taken from a low angle, looking down on the wheel and the river below. The overall mood of the image is one of decay and neglect.
