New Boston bison pelt

I'm into textures... so when I passed the trader selling furs and pelts, I had to grab a picture of this bison hide. One of my past bosses had a buffalo herd, and I help sell the meat in the shop. These are big, tough animals. And their hair is as tough as they are.

 

The Faire at New Boston happens every Labor Day. It's one of the best things that happens here. First class historical re-enactment, with all the costumes and bits and pieces judged for authenticity. The volunteers are religious about assuming a character and really act like they're aback in those times. It's like walking into a painting . Magical.
