This 5 second exposure of a water wheel would never be seen whizzing around like this in real life due to sheer physics and gravity. No spokes - but no water being hurled over the top either and yet a blurred hub! Not a real life image so supplemental to the cause of this site. Back to reality though - this wheel is actually part of this National Trust's site's effort to show that water energy can be converted into electricity - the other side of the wheel's hub is actually geared into an electricity generator.
