Wheelbarrows on the ceiling

In a cafe, near Mt. Jiri in South Korea, wheelbarrows turned into lighting fixtures:

Back entrance—the wall opens up so the mountains can be seen.



Yellow wheelbarrows, a tom-tom, some buckets, and I don't know what else.






Front:



This was spotted (and discussed briefly, by city boys who didn't live around wheelbarrows) in a program called "Master in the House," a reality show (sort of) which they call a variety show, but is more like an interview program in a way. Anyway, wheelbarrows.

Spooky Korean Drama Set Dressing


I don't know how set up it was, or how somewhat-candid, but in a dark and tense scene, portraying a dangerous construction area, it helps show that, and there's a bit of color in an otherwise way-dark scene.

Very often in cinema a wheelbarrow is used to represent lots of work, or quickly abandoned work, or to-be-continued work.
Probably in real-life, too. :-)

The moon, in Stroud

"While visiting...in Stroud, England recently I noticed this orange wheelbarrow and the full moon and I thought of you."

Stroud isn't a big city, but this is the third post in this blog of a wheelbarrow in Stroud. The other two were also by people who were visiting. I think that's a sweet coincidence.

Mine, of a child's wheelbarrow, and Janine's from a visit she made.

This does not look like rubbish to me

"Wheelbarrows spotted in hard rubbish on our dog walk today." —Jo Isaac; Healesville, Victoria



Discussion ensued:
Sandra Dodd:
Now I want to know what "hard rubbish" is in American. Junk pile? They're not being thrown out, are they!?
Jo Isaac:
They are being thrown out! Each year in January, the council will come and take anything you don't want to pay to go to the tip for free. So at the moment, each house has a big pile of stuff out front!

I kind of want to take them as planters for my garden!

Prep for Spring

Janine Davies wrote:
So these barrows were working hard today in East Sussex, in a rural area between Broad Oak & Burwash,in a friend's garden at Rainbow Cottage. They were moving compost and mulch material from a pile to the raspberry bushes getting ready for spring. The little green one belongs to their 3 yr old daughter.

The bright green wheelbarrow transported the 3 yr old daughter on a short walk we took to look at two meadows and a woodland a musician friend of our friends has just purchased. Nice 🙂
