Today the photo prompt inspired me to look through Flickr Commons for photos of welders.

There’s something primal and mythical about welding. Like Vulcan at his forge, molten metalwork seems magical.

There’s welding going on next door to us right now, as part of a building renovation. Good photo finds!
