Here is another view of the ox cart I showed yesterday. A traditional ox cart would be made of wood, with a large wooden wheel without spokes, and fancy painting all over it. To see my previous posts of the beautifully painted ox carts, check out this link.This is a working ox cart, made of metal, with automobile tires for wheels. The ox cart was being driven along the main highway that runs from Liberia, the provincial capitol, to Santa Cruz, the largest town near Tamarindo.
The highway is in good condition, but it is not limited access. I never speed on it. It goes through villages and towns, and at times you may encounter livestock, dogs, people riding bicycles, or, in this case, a family on an ox cart. I leave myself a full hour to drive from Tamarindo to the international airport in Liberia
We are showing photos of the Norwegian fjords this week on our Viva la Voyage travel photo website.
I appreciate this angle, Dave. Nice to have the two shots to get a true sense of this mode of transportation.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like an environmentally sound mode of transportation.
ReplyDeleteI like this image better than yesterday's. great shot
ReplyDeleteThis is a great photo. You never know what you will come across on the road.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos, found them while researching a possible trip to Tamarindo in spring of 2011. Thanks!
