For today's Daily Photo Monthly Theme Day of "round" or "sphere," I am showing the wheel of a traditional Costa Rican ox cart. Traditional Costa Rican ox carts are brightly hand painted, and families take pride in the artistry of their ox cart designs.
It is still possible to see ox carts in use in rural areas. The ox cart in this photo is on display at the Garden Plaza shopping center in Tamarindo, which I have shown in earlier posts. The second photo shows the rest of the ox cart to place the photo of the wheel into context.Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

That is an excellent choice for today's theme!!
It is striking that also here in Italy (in Sicily) there has been a long tradition to paint charts in vibrant colours. Beautiful!
Great election for the Theme Day.
In rural areas, do they paint them charts?
What a beautiful round wheel! Fantastic!
Good choice and beautiful too!
Absolutely beautiful! When I first saw the thumbnail on the portal I though it was an oriental umbrella, but as a wheel it's even more amazing!
This cart is a wonderful piece of art.
Beautiful and amazing!
What a colorful choice for today!
Oh I love the colors of this. I think you win for the most colorful theme day entry!
So colourful and so very beautiful!
That is just so beautiful - bright & colourful
Brightly hand painted... that sounds like the eternal story for Central America... too much color around to paint things in neutral beige or gray shade.
Fantastic! I think it looks so wonderful and happy!
I'm a little late, but happy theme day!
Stunning colors!
