Time for a new Brenda Photo Challenge! The theme is Anything Metal. Our current challenge hostess, Jan of Murrieta365, picked the theme. Thank you, Jan! This subject was pretty easy because I took several interesting metal-related pictures during our recent vacation in eastern Virginia.
This is a rather famous sign outside of Chowning's Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg. The photo was taken at f/5.6, 1/125 second, and ISO 200.
Chug-a-lug!

This Scottish-dressed fellow was demonstrating blacksmith techniques at Colonial Williamsburg. On this particular day, he was making reproduction nails for construction of Charleton’s Coffeehouse near the Capitol. The camera settings were f/5.6, 1/30 second, and ISO 800.
This charming folk art rooster weathervane stands watch over the Bruton Parish House, on the western edge of Colonial Williamsburg. The photo was taken at f/5.6, 1/100 second, and ISO 200 (with polarizing filter).
These twin fish handles were found on a 300-year old cannon at Yorktown Battlefield. The camera settings were f/5.6, 1/160 second, and ISO 200.
Great pictures my friend. I was going to do this but all I could think of to take a picture of where my stainless steel pans and my Kitchen Aid mixer! LOL. Didn't sound to exciting! Hee! Hee!

WoW! How Cool are These? I love the tankard sign!! Happy weekend sweetie!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't stop looking at the blacksmith! THAT is an AWESOME shot! I also liked those fish handles. What an imagination to think of using fish as handles!? It has to say something personal, don't you wonder what the story is behind them? Things like that get me thinking ... ya done good my friend~! {{huggz!}}
ReplyDeleteI love the cannon! Wonderful pictures of our challenge prompt and of some of our history! The beer stein is pretty cool too.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Donna. Love them all. The blacksmith is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!! (hugs)
You always have wonderful pictures! Hopefully I will be able to participate next time.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Donna. Love that sign and the blacksmith is a wonderful capture.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos. Excellent post. A very delicate work.
ReplyDeleteOur staircase is circular and unite my house (on the first floor) and my sister's house (on the second floor).
ReplyDeleteI left another comment for your wonderful post but it didn't appear. I love your photos.
ReplyDeleteYou have all those gorgeous photos from Williamsburg! Just beautiful. Well done!
ReplyDeleteWow great photos! Thanks for the welcome!! I'm starting to like it around here :D
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos! I can't decide which I like best. I guess I like them all best! That rooster is really something, the workmanship really shines through.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, your photos are great! The blacksmith one wins my vote for favorite though. I went to Colonial Williamsburg as a teenager years and years ago. I'd love to go again and all your recent postings have certainly increased that longing. But I don't see it happening anytime soon. So thanks for letting me have a virtual visit.
ReplyDeleteI'm just fascinated by that tankard!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos Donna! That first one is great! Can't wait to see more of your photos from your trip!
ReplyDeleteHi there Donna. Haven't been about much, as my sister has been here in NYC and I was her tour guide for a couple of weeks!! She is safely back home in Melbourne, Australia, and life is a little slower here with the grandbaby now! Love these photos of yours from the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my NY sunsets!
