Don't lump me in with those who consider it a desecration of nature.
Bob pointed out that it had "brought thousands (millions) out to look at
the Black Hills" and I noted encouraging tourism was the original
purpose for which it was intended, and that seems to have worked.
I would like to see more progress on the Crazy Horse monument, but I don't
expect I'll get to see it.

By extension one could argue that the cave paintings of early humans
desecrated nature. Mankind leaves it's mark and writes a history for
better or worse. It's the way of the world.

I wouldn't say it's hideous artwork but it's certainly a
desecration of a beautiful natural formation.
If they stopped now I'd be pretty pleased.

carved out of the hillside this one is among the
controversial set. Is it the hopeless dream that will be
never completed, another hideous artwork, or a great
tribute to Native Americans who have blessed the project.
It is being done entirely with private funding &
contributions. But many complain that more money has been
spent on the observation point than on the carving.
These photos were all taken in September 2015 from the
observation building which is a mile from the statue.
