Why So Serious?

Usually when I photograph statues I try to capture the entire statue, but I was so drawn to the serious facial expression on this one that I snapped only the head shot.

Seriously though I really have to go back down town and take more photos of this statue as well as write down the name of the President because for the life of me I can't remember who he is.... LOL

Great Faces

Given the fact that South Dakota is home to Mt. Rushmore our slogan is Great Faces, Great Places. In addition to Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse down town Rapid City is full of sculptures of our nations presidents. I won't claim that all of the presidents faces were all that great but the sculptures sure are. On Monday I decided take my grandchildren down and see which presidents we could find.

James K. Polk 11th president

Richard M. Nixon 37th President

Andrew Johnson 17th President

Dwight D. Eisenhower 34th President

George W. Bush 43rd President

It turned out to be a rather hot day so we only found these before our interest turned to cooler pursuits.
