A Feng Shui Consultant in Smithtown Long Island New York

Coming home from a Feng Shui Consultation on Long Island last week, we passed it-The Smithtown BULL. Anyone who is from Long Island is familiar with this Bull and he's located on a very busy intersection. Still, LOCALISM was calling me-and risking life and limb, I managed to get a few shots of him.

Meet Whisper. He's pretty famous around here but more for directions..."Make a Right at the Bull" is pretty common to hear. So is "You can't MISS it" - and you CAN'T.

Meet Whisper

The Smithtown Long Island Bull is 14 Feet high and was erected in honor of the Founder of Smithtown. (I'm pausing here to see if you can guess his name : )

Legend has it that Mr. SMITH made a deal with the Indians. They would allow him to keep any land that he covered while riding his Bull, Whisper, in one day. No one knows if this legend is true or not, but it's a fun tale.

It is not always well known how many people fought over Long Island. The Indians were overtaken by the English, who were taken over by the Dutch until the English got it back. There are only a very few small places that the Indians still inhabit on Long Island. They have a Pow Wow every year and if you start off very early in the morning, you just might make it.

Long Island New York is full of history.
