Metalwork and blacksmith demonstration at Iowa State Fair in the Pioneer Hall building.
(Much better than listening to the politicians!)
Leadfield, California. Leadfield may have been a stock operation (swindle), but there are several mines that show considerable work. This shop is at one that looked at least somewhat successful. In use early 1920's.

The X-E3 performed very well in this difficult lighting situation. It was a rainy and foggy day.
The blacksmith lapwing or blacksmith plover is a lapwing species that occurs commonly from Kenya through central Tanzania to southern and southwestern Africa.
When you visit the historic gold mining sites you get a nice little demonstration of blacksmithing done the old fashioned way. I could almost get sucked into dabbling in the craft, if it weren't for the red hot forges, the hammers that weigh a gazillion pounds, and the chance to suck copious amounts of bituminous coal and industrial coke into my lungs. Other than that, it could be a great hobby--I like the idea of having a right arm like Popeye.

the malham circular walk was a wonderful introduction to the Yorkshire d.ales, especially for someone like myself from the fenlands of east anglia where the most elevated position is usually is the upstairs window .
we left malham and followed the signs that lead to Janets Foss , then moved on to Goredale Scar , unfortunately we had to settle for a veiw from the position of the rope that warned us not to proceed any further due to the danger of possible falling rocks because of the recent persistent rain. we the returned to the bridge that we had passed on the way to the scar and had a bite to eat and proceeded to take the trail (UP HILL) to the Malham cove, the limestone pavement was very slippery and so we chose to take the safer route over the top and made our way down the other side down a set of very steep steps. once at the bottom we saw the impressive site of the Cove itself. after a 5 hour trek we rerurned to the car, warmed up and set of to a vantage point to see the cove from afar , by this time the clouds had moved on enough so the sun briefly lit up the hillsides,
The blacksmith lapwing or blacksmith plover (Vanellus armatus). The vernacular name derives from the repeated metallic 'tink, tink, tink' alarm call, which suggests a blacksmith's hammer striking an anvil.
It is distributed throughout southern and eastern Africa - where it occurs in the Savannah grasslands, wetlands, riverine forests and moist grasslands.
It eats aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates, doing most of its foraging early and late in the day, standing still while intently scanning for prey; once spotted it dashes forward to pluck the animal from the surface of the ground or water. It also searches for insect larvae in dung, sometimes trembling its foot in shallow water to attract prey to the surface.

Blacksmiths played a very important role on the estate right from the beginning. Not only did they shoe the horses and make all the metal fittings and tools, the Woolmers blacksmith also repaired tools for the nearby convict chain gangs.
These birds are extremely common in Southern Africa. You will find them at almost every water body, regardless of how small it is.
During the breeding season, they are aggressively protective of their nest and chicks. When threatened, they would attack even much larger animals.
These birds typically nest in the wetlands of southern Africa. Their calls mimic the sound of a blacksmith hammering an anvil.

The Old Blacksmiths at Firle
No longer in use, but an important part of village in bygone days.
A blacksmith is a metalsmith who creates objects primarily from wrought iron or steel, but sometimes from other metals, by forging the metal, using tools to hammer, bend, and cut (cf. tinsmith). Blacksmiths produce objects such as gates, grilles, railings, light fixtures, furniture, sculpture, tools, agricultural implements, decorative and religious items, cooking utensils, and weapons. There was a historical distinction between the heavy work of the blacksmith and the more delicate operations of a whitesmith, who usually worked in gold, silver, pewter, or the finishing steps of fine steel. The place where a blacksmith works is variously called a smithy, a forge, or a blacksmith's shop.
Built in 1792 and restored in the 1970's, this Grade II listed bridge spans the Basingstoke canal about a mile or so from Dogmersfield.
This is another workshop of the boat tour around Inle Lake.
Blacksmith has been a thriving occupation among Intha people, which is because ethnic Burmese regards blacksmith as a menial occupation and are reluctant to engage in. The prejudice probably derives from a Hindu influence on Buddhism since blacksmith is a lower caste occupation in India.

Blacksmith demonstration at 'Sainte-Marie among the Hurons' This Midland Ontario reconstructed site demonstrates early Canadian pioneer life. Its roots go back to 1639 when French Jesuits along with lay workers, began construction of a fenced community that included barracks, a church, workshops, residences, and a sheltered area for Native visitors.
I made this image during the portrait session of the Winter photography workshop at the Nevada Northern Railway in Ely, Nevada back in February. Pentax K1.
Very different to my normal subjects. I spent the day at the Industrial Museum in Bradford which was fascinating. I ended up spending 3 hrs when i had initially planned for 1 hr!
They have a resident blacksmith and since i was early arriving at the building there was noone else there but me so I enjoyed taking photos of him at work and also listening to the knowledge he had and what came across was his enthusiasm.
He made me a nail out of metal which was brilliant. Actually, he made me one last year (2 days before my heart attack ironically enough, maybe the nail was symbolic LOL )
But, I really enjoyed the couple of hours at the museum and if you come to Bradford definitely pay it a visit.
