Hidden Treasures

I can't resist looking at dilapidated sheds as I pass by them. The shed in this photo caught my eye a year ago because I could see some old iron peeking out between the barely there siding boards, but I couldn't tell what kind of machine the iron belonged to. I pass this shed maybe once a month or less, and every time, someone was following too closely to slow down for a good look. Finally, last Saturday, there was no traffic either way; I stopped, zoomed in, and shot a picture from the highway. When I plugged the SD card into the computer I found that the old iron is a hand-cranked forge blower. Mystery solved. Zoom is good.
