That's a proper "bag of spanners". I love the rust it's almost lichen like.

Re: Old Technology

Beautiful shot - although the iron would have been produced in a coke fired blast furnace rather than by a Blacksmith and an anvil. The change to coal fired furnaces really set the Industrial Revolution going.
Nice image of the Blacksmith though.

Re: Old Technology

My take on a technology that kept the world moving for hundreds of years - wrought iron! Made by a man wearing a leather apron, using a fire, an anvil, and hammers. These men made components for ships, trains, wagons, and farm tools. There would have been no empire without those skills.
These fairleads on an old sailing ship were made about two hundred years ago, served well, and now rusting has revealed the individual layers of the iron, and the work he put into them.

Steel never looks so interesting!

Here is my entry taken today. It is a Harley Davidson engine on a bike that has been customised.

The basic V-Twin engine has hardly changed since the late thirties and they have become popular engines (and bikes) for customisation which led to the beginnings of the 'Chopper'.

What you can see below are two 'bullet' shapes, the long one just bottom of centre, is the right-hand footrest and the short one just above centre is the rear brake. In the background is the engine itself. The wavey silver bit is the exhaust, you can also see the downpipe just coming into the picture on the right.
