from Linda Wyatt
"I finally have a wheelbarrow picture for you. This is a stone bridge, originally built by the CCC in 1933 (I believe) in Robert H Treman State Park. It was washed out in a flood in 2013, and is still being rebuilt." —Linda Wyatt

Hampton Court Station, stealth-barrow
Janine Davies wrote, on March 13, 2015:
A Wheelbarrow for you Sandra. It is on the Platform of Hampton Court Station and I can't believe I have never noticed it before....Its chained down... and has a flat tyre, and seems to be a herb garden of sorts. It's near the entrance but to the side and slightly obscured by the cafe so actually very missable, but once I saw it I couldn't believe I had missed it all these times! Even when Holly was here.
Sandra Dodd:
They're everywhere, and elegant-but-plain, and engineering masterpieces, yet mundane. Thanks for the photo!
Michelle Hodgson-Gregory:
I've never seen that either!!!!!!!! HOW MANY times have I been to that station???
As a profound trivial tie-in, the day before a wheelbarrow that is chained to the ground at Hampton Court Station travelled (its image, anyway) to Albuquerque, a banana was given a motorbike ride in Vietnam... This is drectly related to the wheelbarrow above. Okay, INdirectly related, but probably as close as Albuquerque and a Vietnamese motor bike, all in a two-day period can be!!!

Snow in New Jersey

Motorized wheelbarrow
This is GREAT!
I don't know where it is, but Alex Polikowsky found it on facebook, and it said "with Raul Méndez" so I don't know if he's the "driver," owner, photographer, poster, or maybe more than one.
If anyone knows more about who, when and where, please leave a note! (The "WHY" is obvious!)

Dig site
Julie Daniel sent a photo of her son Adam and his friend Huxley helping with an archeological excavation. It looks a bit like a wheelbarrow photobomb situation!

Toy stroller, WWII camp
Alicia Gonzalez wrote "Hi Sandra!While looking for vintage pictures of girls playing with dolls, I saw this one."
It's from the photo archive website of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the caption says: "A young Jewish DP girl poses with a doll and toy stroller in the Feldafing displaced persons camp. Pictured is Reisele Kirkel."
It may be a toy stroller, but it has a lot in common with a wheelbarrow. If anyone happens to find a photo of this or a similar "stroller," or sees one somewhere, pleaes leave a note! With two front "feet," stands, it might have one wheel, or two, or perhaps even none.
The photo is a link. Other info: Feldafing, [Bavaria] Germany, 1946 - 1947 |
