The truth about Mt. Rushmore

South Dakota, USA

 

I think most people when they first get to Mount Rushmore

are a little surprised at how small the heads seem. The heads with noses about 20 feet long, eyes about 11 feet wide, and mouths about 18 feet wide are by no means small. But it's just that they seem so far away; for people are expecting to see the great big heads that one sees in travelogues. You need to have a zoom lens to get those views and I did get my own shots like that (see below). I also really liked this shot too though because it gives a sense of scale and location.
