Amazing to Behold -- Jingle Trucks

By Sam Shaw

Using vehicles as a means of artistic expression is not something that is all that new. In fact, it is quite popular in many parts of the world.

Cars and other vehicles have been largely used as works of art throughout North America. This practice has quickly spread across to other countries as well. This includes many Asian countries that have come up with their own type of Art Cars. You can see these vehicles in countries that are in turmoil. They are called jungle trucks because of the chains attached to them and the sound that they emit.

These trucks may be located frequently in countries such as India and Afghanistan. They are very colorful and highly decorated, and you can find them just about anywhere in these places. You will find beautiful works of art on these Jingle Trucks. In some cases, you may find entire tapestries painted on the side of these vehicles depicting many different scenes -- making them really worth seeing.

It is nothing short of amazing when you get the chance to examine the insane amount of detail that is put into these vehicles.

The intrigue of these vehicles might be due to the fact that they are the only thing of color within the desolation of a place like Afghanistan. The pictures on these vehicles show wonderful scenes such as running water and lush grassland, and it is virtually nowhere to be seen in such a place. The colors on these vehicles are always bright stand out. This ensures that everyone around will want to see the artistic spectacle. They are truly a one of a kind phenomenon in that environment.

It is often believed that these artists are portraying their hopes and dreams of a great future in which everyone can get along and live in peace -- although this is only an unofficial explanation.

Usually these jingle trucks show some kind of paradise. It is a sort of Promised Land in which everyone can live together peacefully without any sort of conflict or strife. The trucks usually display magnificent scenes such as lush grasslands, and anything that a person could possibly associate with peace. These are often symbols of hope just by having the pleasure of gazing upon them. If you have never seen one of these jingle trucks up close, then it is worth your while to go out of your way to experience it. There are many spots in which you can find pictures of these beauties.

As far as the history of the jingle trucks goes, there is not much material available. If you go to Afghanistan one day, you may get the opportunity to inquire as to their origins, although this is not a promise.

This is unlike anything that you have ever seen before, even in modern art. These masterpieces are capable of going anywhere and brilliantly captivating anyone that sees them. In some places, you might be able to get a miniature jingle truck to carry with you.

A quick internet search in your favorite search engine will quickly locate a site that sells such toys, and they are pretty easy to find as they have their own category.
