You might spot me at Kirra Beach, the South-Eastern end of the Gold Coast, Australia,  if you like beach walking like myself... but there is more ! My son Jeff (*jif3d*, here at Rendo, it helps to advertise, ooops)... he took this pic of me in 2000, then manipulated it in photo-shop and it's still one of my favourites. Just very briefly about my past... *born in East Prussia; *grew up in Berlin, West Germany; *migrated to "OZ" in 1960, (not the Wizard of Oz) but...AUSTRALIA ! I guess  I was more into '2D' since early childhood, and thinking that my son Jeff may have inherited some of my artistic skills, because he translated them into '3D'. I am hooked on photography, since I discovered cameras... that's it in a nutshell. BTW - one of my fav.quotes.... ** I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is trying to please everybody !**                                              that's a wrap... Cheers Brigitte.

What a great picture! You wouldn't catch me using one of those ... I'd drop it in a panic as soon as it started spitting sparks in my direction ... but it's certainly beautiful to see! I find this sort of work to be mesmerizing. I can watch other people work all day! :)

Super idea. Fascinating image. Often a subject like this gets me googling...today I've learned about the subject of spark testing:)

Great details; from the reflection of light on the flat of the guard, to the multi-directional spray of the sparks. Can even see your son using his foot for leverage from this POV!

Let the sparks fly, like in this fabulous foto, Brigitte! Sparks is usually the nickname of the wireless telegrapher aboard ships.

I LOVE grinding stuff! Any excuse.......

The sparks are certainly flying here and you have caught them beautifully in this capture. They make for a great work of art. We recycle here too and hubby is always doing this sort of thing for me. It is good that Jeff is there to do these things.
