The Wheelwright.

[Fogey]

Taken at Acton Scott farm.  This farm runs on the same technology as they did during the 17 - 1800's and was made into a television series at some point.
I must get back there and see if they are ploughing with the Shire horses.

Excellent shot Jeff, really like the composition and it suits mono really well.

You have really captured a feeling of a trade, unchanged by progress for centuries. Agree with Ryewolf about the mono as this really emphasises this mood.

[Fogey]

Thank you both.
Yes this is one of my favourites.  Had a chat to the man in the photo and he was nonplussed about my admiration for his skills.
