Blacksmith, Kolkata.
This blacksmith, dressed in a minimum of clothing, was forging heavy blades for a sythe-like tool. As he hammered the steel, occasional sparks flew off, some of which landed on unsuspecting spectators.
A group of men sat and watched him working his magic, transforming billets of steel into blades, seemingly mesmerised by the process.
Taken late in the afternoon in a backstreet in Kolkata, India.
