This image was taken at the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum in Vista, California.
The Museum operates a fully functional Blacksmiths Shop and gives classes for people willing to learn this difficult and hard work.
The sights, smells and sounds of ten fires working at once in the shop was really an experience.
It's nice to see this old tradition being kept alive.


The image above was taken for the Weekly Informal Challenge (Week 28): "Hands"
