All the metalworking art jobs are disappearing it seems. The blacksmith forge is a real tough job while using fire, water and muscle to make raw metal into useful things, like horseshoes. The anvil business must not exist, but the smith exists fine in a mass produced world...
I enjoyed your detailed, informative comments, Ralph. Thanks - I would have no idea. Blacksmiths are something we see in these old-fashioned villages and farms.
Good question. I suspect it is a reproduction of a real blacksmith shop. The logo has kind of a modern look, which gets me suspicious that it is an imaginary reproduction.
None of the buildings were open when we visited, and the truth is I was rather tired and was concentrating more on getting good shots with my camera than finding out the details of the park.
Very nice sepia photo. I love how you captured both the window view and the sepia scene together!
If you'd like to stop by my blog I'm here at Cake Crumbs.

This looks great in sepia and nice job doing two memes in one post.
I have a picture of this place, but ironically I posted a picture of a wall in New Jersey.

I love your sepia tone, Leora! And of course I love stone houses and colonial windows! :)

Is it decoration, brand name or real blacksmith shop?

What a lovely photo, Leora. I like the varied texture blends. The sepia tones add a wonderful effect to a craft that has become rare.
