Strömfors Ironworks Photo

Photographer’s Note

Forge at Ruotsinpyhtää (Strömfors in swedish). In 1744, Baron Johan Creutz´s son sold the rights to the Petjärvi estate and ironworks to two merchants, Jakob Forsell (later af Forselles) and Anders Nohrström. The refurbished ironworks was renamed Strömfors after the names of the owners. In 1746 it aquired a drop hammer and hearth, and the following year another hearth was built. In 1768 a sawmill and flourmill were built on the eastern side of the rapids.

Hi Jarkko,
It's a pity that the reflection doesn't have a better sharpness. But the mirror is nice and the framing to.
Nice try ;-)

Hi Jarkko

I like this. The reflections of the building and the symetry in the picture makes a real good composition. The branches on the top makes depth in the picture.
Thanks.

Regards
Ivar
