Before and after the Christmas Show we wandered the streets of NYC. It was 2 days after Thanksgiving and the streets were packed with people. Yet the wonderful NYC Mounted Police were nice enough to stop and let everyone take pic-tures of them. I have a really great photo! I am currently in the process of turning that photo into a painting. I am a self-taught Artist from central Pa. and can't wait to finally get a chance to start this painting. I plan on giving a print of it to them when it's finished. Thanks for sharing, I will let you know when the painting is finished.

As much as people complain about auto exhaust and pollution, I don't think most people give much thought to, um, horse exhaust. We have a number of horsedrawn carriages that work the tourist trade around Michigan Avenue here. There are certain corners where they park and wait for customers in the evening. Even during the day, when the horses and carriages aren't present, those corners smell of horse pee. Big time. Now imagine hundreds or thousands of horses downtown every day. Wow. By the way, I just found your photo site. I will be back. I need great New York fixes like this on an almost daily basis. Chicago was a horse town too, as were all cities back in the day.
