Normally, the cart is pulled by two bullocks or oxen. The cart (or a jinker) is attached to a bullock team by a special chain attached to yokes, but a rope may also be used for one or two animals. The driver and any other passengers sit on the front of the cart, while load is placed in the back. Traditionally the cargo was usually agrarian goods and lumber.

In some area, this type of carts are still used today where modern cars are too expensive or the infrastructure does not favor them.

I think this cart is very pretty, and looks so well constructed. but my eyes go to the lush scenery in the background and at all the trees and plants. Looks like a very beautiful place, almost park like settings in the first picture....great shots
