I took this image a few weeks back whilst visiting a small property not far from here.
The old wagon cart had seen better days and was standing by the side of the paddock. I thought to my self at the time, I wonder what this wagon carried all those years ago. It would have once been harnessed to a team of horses.
Oh what a history lesson this EMPTY cart could tell us all.
Please leave me your thoughts below.

This old cart of mine
used to cart wool to town
pulled home food and twine
we used bullocks of some reknown....
Twas a long slow trek to town
over creek and through a stream
up the hill and back again down
left me time to ponder and dream
now this worn out old cart
which done its job just fine
sits to become a photographers art
as a truck now works the roadline............
Verse to go with the theme is by Mister Ifiik.
I love it. What a great take on the theme.

ReplyDeleteThis is a nice one Milli. I am sure the cart has so many tales to tell. Why not write one of them eh??
ReplyDeletei like this old vehicles much more than the new one, maybe because i am no farmer. :-)

ReplyDeleteGreat entry Milli I have not got one up yet but will let you know when I do.
ReplyDeleteI love old things like this. If it is old I wish I could just touch it and see what it saw back in days past. This is why I posted what I did also. Great photo.

No plastic on that wagon! Very little metal, either. You can bet it was used for haying, but it would also have transported other things around the farm. There were still lots in use when I was a small boy, growing up in farm country. Great image.
ReplyDeleteI love your picture!

I love it. It is Empty. Where once it was used and filled full now it has been retired and is Empty. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI have almost that same photo from a historic fort near Fredricksburg Texas. I did not use it for this week's entry but your photo got me to thinking about the stories these old carts could tell. I like the poem too.
