Narrative
Traditionally, Anatolian towns and villages had water-powered mills to grind flour for the village's consumption. With the development of industry however, towns and villages began to purchase flour produced in factories, rendering the mills idle. Here an old millstone has been left as decoration on the sidewalk.
