I hope he also uses the barrow to deliver the mail! :-) HBM and have a good week, Christa.

Thanks George, after what I understood, he had a knapsack slung over his back for his daily tours. I guess it would have been too laborious to push the barrow over 30 km every day... Have a nice week.

Thanks Dinesh. It must have been a hard work building this alone for 33 years, but I think it wasn't a drudgery for this postman as he achieved his dream. Have a beautiful day.

Hi Christa
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
When I saw the title and first few words it reminded me of the story of the man stealing wheelbarrows...

Thanks for the link Peter, the concept of "hiding in plain sight" can often be an effective form of camouflage;-))
