Smokey Smithy

Smokey Smithy, originally uploaded by David A G Wilson.

This is another image taken at LBJ Ranch last weekend (the barn in the previous posting is the building in the background). The smithy furnace was not lit when we arrived but, as we were leaving the farmer/guide lit it and we had to stop and take a few shots of the light shining through the smoke.

I wanted to accentuate the light rays so processed this as an almost-monochrome image. The only thing missing is someone standing in the window. The farmer came over and posed for us a few minutes later so perhaps there is the possibility of making this happen via the wonders of Photoshop sometime later?
