fortunately I know you jest..
I too have photographed Perce Rock, and also walked out to it and
gathered fossils.. 1970, July
We drove around the Gaspe especially so I could view the great Devonian
chunk o'rock.
Much of the Gaspe is sad and poor - at least it was so in 1970..

It looks ideally suited to the purpose.
They'd have to rename it le Castor percé or the Québecois would get upset.

I think he should commission (at the taxpayers' expense, of course, 'cause
that's what them damn lib'rals do!) sculpting Percé Rock into our national

I think it would be lovely.

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:
My 1st trip and next time I don't have to shoot this photo. The
viewing area is quite a bit higher and more spacious than the
old
one,
which still exists.
