While I was waiting for my ride to Latrun monastery, this heavy-laden truck stopped for a red light.
Maybe it was not loaded with rebar exactly, but close enough.
I can't resist saying, for ABC Wednesday:
R is for reinforcement steel rebar rods!
.
UPDATE: I am surprised that rebar is new to many readers. Here in Israel you can't walk more than a few blocks without seeing rebar in its various uses. But then, we build only in stone and concrete, not with wood like in Europe.
To see examples of rebar's uses, see my posts:
1. The First Station (of the train, not of the Cross)
2. Steam Chimneys see how workers bend rebar

(Linking also to signs, signs.)
I think those netting are actually made with a kind of smaller rebar...
ReplyDeleteThanks VP. I'm never sure about these technical things.
ReplyDeleteThe bumpiness of the metal made me think rebar.
I need to Google rebar...
ReplyDeleteOh ok. I've learned something today!
ReplyDeleteThe yellow of the truck certainly does stand out.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great scene you captured, Dina

Nice picture to view at full size. Bilingual road signs are also common in Ontario.

Hi Dina,
ReplyDeleteRebar is a common term here. We would call the material on the truck reinforcement mesh, rebar is a single piece of steel. Tom The Backroads Traveller
Very informative. I've heard the term here (upstate NY, USA) but I wouldn't call it common.
