Surprisingly close to our Man from Alençon
in France and a man from Ara in northern
Spain. We note the pose in general and
several similar features : sleeves rolled up, detailed face and shoes.
Some differences though. The smallest heap is a bit higher in Turkey. The men from France are a bit more muscular than the Turkish worker being at the point of developing a nice spread. |

| Did I tell you about the blue skies
and the warm breeze and the bright sun ?
The birds whistling happy tunes ? I told you before:
Road signs may bring you the happiest hours in your life
(from Start your own collection).
A complete new design : a man using a pick-axe. All other finds feature men working with a spade, a shovel, or their bare hands. Would that mean that a foreman, having both versions in his truck, chooses the warning sign to fit the work at hand ? He probably just takes the one that lies on top. |
The modern match-stick worker is spreading
rapidly around the Mediterranean Sea. Realizing this, the happy tunes abruptly
turn sad. Read more in Slovenia. |
