The Decorated Wheelbarrow Competition

Helen Soutar found this for me on Facebook. I've lifted the photos in case those don't stay there.

"Human Artifacts Found at 46 Ancient Lakes in the Arabian Desert"





I don't know who took the photo, but he left his shadow in it, and he's wearing Indiana Jones' hat.

It's from a Smithsonian online article, August 2017:

I saved this pictures of a wheelbarrow for sale in my area! It is an antique one! Or vintage as they advertised!

Theresa Larson brought this to my attention:

Lu's girl's toy wheelbarrow

Diana Jenner sent this photo and wrote:

I told her my friend collects pictures of wheelbarrows and Lu said, "She should have a picture of the girl *and* her wheelbarrow" So here they are!

Green wheelbarrow

Diana Jenner sent this photo, taken in downtown Florence, Oregon. I like all the green, inside, outside, left and right.

Gloucester Docks Museum

Cath GB brought this photo. When she told me where it was, I wrote, "Makes sense! It's not for carrying loose stuff (dirt). So it's for carrying sacks of stuff, or boxes of stuff—packaged goods. Nice." Looks like the wheel is cast iron, or steel. And the axle is bolted onto the wooden forks. So it looks small, but it would be strong. I went to find the museum. It has had name changes, but here's the site: Gloucester Waterways Museum
