Blacksmith Hammering Red Metal in Tbilisi Cafe

Pale walls in Marjanishvili reflect soft, indirect morning light across a room where a blacksmith works. The worker, clad in dark protective gear, grips a heavy hammer above a glowing red-hot piece of metal resting on an anvil. Warm interior shadows pool beneath the table and along the baseboards, against the bright orange sparks flying upward. Wooden cafe chairs sit nearby, untouched, while the floor shows signs of soot and heat. The low angle emphasizes the height of the anvil against the ceiling. One spark lands on a dark leather boot, leaving a faint, glowing mark before fading into the shadow.
