Just out of curiosity (and because I'm too lazy to Google it right now).
Does any other country do this where they carve these massive sculptures
out of the mountainside?
IIRC, there's another one in either South or North Dakota of Crazy Horse
that's been worked on for years & will be many more years before it's
finished.
And then there's Stone Mountain Georgia.
Come to think of it, which came first Mount Rushmore or Stone Mountain?

Thanks for commenting Ann, and I can't argue with you about the
sculpture which is more about a great engineering feat than anything
about art. But is sure draws a crowd every day. I have worked on the
color balance and the highlights to some effect.

charset=windows-1252; format=flowed I have to say I personally find Mt
Rushmore the most boring NP I've ever visited - and rather consider
the sculpture as an insult to nature. The garishness of the odd
lighting effect backs up my opinion... but what I like a lot about the
photo is how cool it is that the big dipper is soclear and placed
perfectly- much nicer to look at than the presidents too. :-) If you
can bringdown the brightness of the lights on the faces of the
presidents I think it wouldbe even more interesting... the gawkers are
good.. ann On 10/20/2015 4:07 PM, Donald Guthrie wrote:
