Photographed with a Canon 400D.
Hoping to get some sparks flying off the blacksmith’s hammer, I couldn’t believe my luck when I got this gem of a sparking display flying off.
I need to thank Bev Woodman for showing me her shots so that I could see what was possible.
Thank you to all the “bright sparks” who gave me lots of helpful advice on this great day out.
This was taken at the Redbubble Rumblers meeting at the Pioneer Village in Wilberforce, north of Sydney, Australia on Nov 6, 2011.

I’m fascinated by the beauty of nature & in particular Australian native flowers & landscapes. I also love colour & anything unusual.
The Blue Mountains are my favourite spot at the moment.
