Stone-faced
Mount Rushmore
South Dakota, U.S.A.
Left to right, the four presidents depicted here are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. In my opinion, Lincoln is the best carved with amazing details and a magical life in the eyes.
It's a tough call whether to go for a photo that gives a sense of scale or one which shows the incredible details carved in the stone. I went for the latter here but eventually will post some which show scale. In the meantime, I'll run through a few facts. Mount Rushmore has an elevation of 5,725 feet (1,745 metres). Noses on the presidents are about 20 feet long, eyes about 11 feet wide, mouths about 18 feet wide.
