Ben
I'm a big fan of Ben Franklin and had to stop to snap a shot of this statue at 4th and Chestnut.
This hypothetical question was posed to me not too long ago.....If you could invite 3 people in history...alive or dead, to a dinner party, who would you invite?
I started thinking about it. It's a much harder question to answer than I thought.
I do know that Ben would definitely be one of them.....still working on the other two!
Who would you invite??
When I took this picture, I did not see the fine detail in the statue, and even when I was editing the shot, I didn't realize what I was looking at.
When I did a little research to find out the sculptor...James Peniston, and that the work is called "Keys to the Community", and the fine details were actually keys!
So I went back and looked again...closer! Indeed...it's all little keys!
