The blacksmith lapwing or blacksmith plover (Vanellus armatus) occurs commonly from Kenya through central Tanzania to southern and southwestern Africa. The vernacular name derives from the repeated metallic 'tink, tink, tink' alarm call, which suggests a blacksmith's hammer striking an anvil.
Blacksmith lapwings are very boldly patterned in black, grey and white, possibly warning colours to predators. It is one of five lapwing species (two African, one Asian and two Neotropical) that share the characteristics of a carpal (wing) spur, red eye and a bold pied plumage. The bare parts are black. Females average larger and heavier but the sexes are generally alike.

Yet another shot of the blacksmiths at St Fagans museum of Welsh life.
I've done this three times before over the years, each time with a better camera and capturing more detail.
As it was, it's not actually that sharp, as shutter speed was very slow, even with image stabilizing!

I really cranked up the highlightsand contrast on this one, and not sure if it was a good idea or not...

A re-creation of a Blacksmith Shop in Dawson Creek. Natural light from the windows provided for a handheld image.
Wanted to try out some new colors and revisit the hinged building concept. The green was pretty fun to work with. Started off with lots of texture for the dark grey and blue for the roof and second story; but I didn't like that so I pretty well tore down the whole thing and started over.
A really fun build on the whole!
Blacksmiths produce objects such as gates, grilles, railings, light fixtures, furniture, sculpture, tools, agricultural implements, decorative and religious items, cooking utensils and weapons.
My entry to the CCC XIX Civilian Building category.
When you have a damaged weapon or need a new one, a blacksmith is the right place for you. Sword in the Forge!
I am very excited about the Ideas Medieval Blacksmith set that adorns my lego room, so I made my own version. The inspiration was a model from Tabletop World.
I hope you like it!
Near the center of the village sits the home of the village blacksmith. Working out of a small shop connected to his house, the blacksmith provides trustworthy work to the local farmers, soldiers, and craftsmen who need a horse shoed, a plough sharpened, or a tool repaired. The sound of his hammer striking metal can be heard throughout the countryside, and the cozy outdoor shop often serves as the site of friendly socialization and sharing of news for the village residents.

Another build incorporating the technic-pin roof technique I've been playing with. I love the way it looks and the versatility of it's shape, but it can really be a pain to work with. ;)
Also, building houses is kinda hard...getting the roof shape and building proportions right can be complicated. Something I need to practice more. :)
Thanks for looking!
Soli Deo Gloria!
Built circa 1859, this is one of the charming historical buildings in beautiful downtown Dundas, a suburb of Hamilton, Ontario.
Thank you, my kind Flickr friends, for visiting my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!
This Blacksmith Lapwing is vocalizing, which the species is wont to do. The sound bears resemblance to the hammering of a blacksmith on an anvil. The strong pattern of black, white, and grey is eye-catching despite the muted colours. This bird was in the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, which has numerous wetland areas as required by this species.
