* Work - I usually don't post photographs but these go with last week's artwork showing me laying on top of Ben the Clydesdale. These photos are real life images of him that show you that he really existed, he is not just another one of my character creations. The two photos that are in this vignette have text describing each photo with some recent history of the area where Ben lived. The photos had to be cleaned up and repaired in Photoshop.

* Description - The text pretty much says it all so go read it first and have a look at the pictures before you go on any further in this paragraph. . . * Extra Info * At the time that I post this, ( late Sept 2013 ) local news reported that in the past week the body of another murder victim was found dumped in the area where Ben used to live. As an additional note the berry farms have expanded a lot in the past year. Out of the 4 horse farms that existed when I used to go there only one survives today. I also didn't have space in the posting to mention that a 100 year old house was torched by vandals not too long ago. During the day the area where Ben used to live is okay but I wouldn't want to go down there after dark anymore!
