Recently, I drove to South Dakota. This was my 3rd visit to this beautiful state. I went with my son to Rapid City, which is nestled in the Black Hills Area. It is named for the dark appearance given by the mountains' thick covering of pines.
The 1st photo is Mount Rushmore National Memorial in the Black Hills. The sculptor, Gutzon Borglum chose this mountain for its granite face and with a team of 400 people, carved the faces of 4 presidents( George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln) with perfection. Each face is 60 feet high.

Nice picture, Lakshmi.
Isn't Devil's Tower within driving distance too. It has been almost 10 years since I visited SD.
Please post more pictures.

Thanks Exon. Yes, the Devil's tower is 70 miles northwest of Rapid City in Wyoming.
Here is another photo. This one is Crazy Horse. Crazy Horse was a war Chief of Lakota Indians. He was stabbed to death during the battle of big horn. This non profit project began in 1947, when sculptor Korczak Ziolkowskiarrived in the Black Hills to accept the invitation of Lakota chief to carve Crazy Horse. The hair can fit all the 4 faces of the presidents from Mount Rushmore. The project is not funded by the federal Government. Volunteers contribute in everyway. Noone knows when this project will be completed since it depends on the weather and finance. The sculptor died in 1982 and the project is carried by his wife and children. When completed , this monument will be the tallest in the world.

Marcilo,
Thanks for your appreciation. I wish I was much younger. I have tons of enthusiasm for running around and taking photos.
The next one is in Kansas City, Missouri. It is amzing that we have so many beautiful spots right in our back yard, yet we don't notice them.
Here is a photo of Nelson Atkins museum in Kansas City. This is one of the best museums in US. The admission is always free. The collection of Asian paintings and sculptures are huge. There is an outdoor sculpture garden where one can view Henry Moore's collection. There are 6 shuttlecocks on the premises. The sculptors are Claes Oldenberg and Coosje Van Bruggen. These shuttlecocks are made out of Fibreglass.You are seeing 2 of them on the front lawn

Sri,
Thanks for your nice words. I am an amateur photographer. I still haven't learnt the nuances of photography. I enjoy taking photos. Even the insignificant spots attract me.
I lived in New York City for 5 years, yet missed central park. 2 years ago, i went to New York City and walked through quarter of the park. I started at columbus circle , Avenue of Americas and went upto 75th street. I took many photos. I will upload a few as and when time permits.
Here are 2 photos.
The first one is a marble statue of Columbus on granite column. The three ships on the column represent the Nina, The Pinta and the Santa Maria
I am having problems with attaching the image.

Thanks Venkat. I enjoy taking photos. The next picture of mine is a famous theatre on 48th street between 6th and 7th avenue in New York City. The theatre was built by the west coast producer, John Cort, The architect was Thomas Lamb and it was completed in i913. It is a must see for its beautiful facade.

For some reason I never liked NYC. It reminded me of Delhi's chandani Chonk area. People all around, trash on roads, honking, I mean you name it.
Posted by: Exon Jun 4 2008, 09:16 PM
Lakshmi,
Thanks for all these nice pictures.
Your photo of Mount Rushmore reminds me of Stone Mountain park, near Atlanta. There, they have three heroes from civil war etched on mountain side rocks. It is a very nice park to spend an evening with little kids.

Marcilo,
I agree with you. Either you love New York or hate New York. It has too much ethnic diversity. People have become very money minded and arrogant. I used to love New York City when I lived there , but after living in midwest, I find New York very dirty and crowded. But, I enjoy my short visits there. I enjoy walking in Manhattan.
Exon,
I have been to Atlanta but not the stone mountain park.I will visit it when I go to Atlanta.
Here are a few pics from Holocaust memorial in Miami Beach, Florida.

You came very very close to my home town in NJ. If I had known about your trip, I would have invited you to my home. I think it would have been great to meet a friend from the HF. Music would have given us lot's of things to talk about.

Same here, after living in Midwest, I doubt I can adjust myself to that kind of life style. NY is good in a way, people walk a lot. They use public transport but then I can’t imagine driving through lower Manhattan. I am sure if I were to drive there now, I would be running those pedestrian over and over who cross street with click of knuckle

I like midwest for its cleanliness and helpful people. Love to visit New York every year.
The next one is a palace in Vienna. Schonbrunn palace is One of the beautiful palaces . It was the summer resident for Hapsburgs who ruled central Europe for 600 years. There are 1400 rooms and the garden is just amazing. Here are 3 photos from my file.

I shot this photo while I was in Scotland. I took the description from the net.
In 1269, while the Earl of Atholl was away in England for an extended period, a neighbour, John Comyn, started to build a castle on the Earl's land. Atholl complained to King Alexander III, got his land back, and incorporated the usurping tower into his own castle. It is still there, called Comyn's Tower.
It has been occupied by attackers on four occasions, including being taken by the Cromwellians during the English Civil War.
During the 1745 Jacobite revolt, Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed at Blair Castle on his way south after landing at Glenfinnan. Inevitably the English army occupied the castle in 1746 as the Jacobite revolt came to its sad conclusion. The Jacobites under Lord George Murray, lay siege to Blair in what is believed to be the last castle siege in Britain.
Blair has changed its architectural appearance over the years. Much of what can be seen today dates from the 18th century, and it has become a palace rather than a fortress.

Hi lakshmi ji,
Lovely flowers you collected, many of those rare flower's i am having at my home . .
With love,

Posted by: lakshmi Jun 14 2008, 04:04 AM
Iiluu,
You are lucky to have those flowers in your yard. Love to see them.
Today, I decided to go to New York City. I enjoy going bymyself, so that I can spend many hours seeing anything I like. Istarted at 12 noon at the southern tip of Manhattan in battery park and walked all the way to Prince Street in Soho andthen caughtthe subway to Penn Station. It took me 4 hours to see everything between South Ferry stationand Prince street. I took 200 photos. I will upload many of them periodically.
Here is theone pic of me with raging bull. This bull is 7000 pounds and made out ofbronze. The sculptor is New York City artist, Arturo Di Modica.He created this one after the black Monday in Oct,1987. It is situated in Broadway and Bowling Greene intersection.

BROOKLYN BRIDGE
Thanks Venkat. In my opinion, walking is the best way to see many important and interesting points. The next pic is Brooklyn Bridge.
The work which is most likely to become our most durable monument, and to convey some knowledge of us to the most remote posterity, is a work of bare utility; not a shrine, not a fortress, not a palace, but a bridge." - Harper's Weekly (1883)
This bridge over the East River joind the boroughs of Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. It is one of the largest suspensionbridges. It took more than 13 years to complete itand was completed in 1883. Pedestrians can walk on the top of the bridge. The architect was John Augustus Roebling. The cables are made out of steel.

Lakshmi,
Thanks for sharing these nice photos. I also enjoy reading your nice write up about the places you visit. Would love to see some more pictures.
From my visits, I found additional advantages to walking in Manhattan. The first time we visited NY, our car got towed. We ended up wasting several hours to recover our vehicle. When we lived in Philadelphia, we used to visit NY very often.
Exon
Posted by: lakshmi Jun 17 2008, 04:11 PM
Thanks Exon. No matter how many times I see New York City, I would have missed somethings next time I visit the city. Philadelphia is another historic place. Used to visit often and enjoyed the famous Pagano pizza.
In my opinion, the best way to see a country is through driving and the best way to see a city is through walking.Used to drive in New York City, gave up. Too many cabs, too many constructions. Best is to walk or take the sub way.
Washington D.C. is the capitol of US. It is another fantastic place to visit.. Here is a photo of Washington monument in D.C. This beautiful, 555 feet sand colored obelisk was built in mid 1800s to honour our first president, George Washington. This photo was takenfrom Lincoln Memorial.

Barnegat lighthouse in Long Beach Island , New Jersey
Thanks Lakshmi.. This brought back memories of times gone by..on my first Visit to US, my nephew confused took me to long island beach..instead of manhattan enroute New Jersey. The weather was freezing, and it started to shower flurries...Oh..it was heavens to enjoy the warmth of the heater..sitting in the car..
Posted by: HumTum Jul 23 2008, 09:15 PM
I simply like this one.
To know more I did a search on google about the rocks and this is what I found.. They are pink quartzite. Lakshmi Sis thanks for the lovely virtual trip to all these places. Going to the US now seems so bleak with all the security issues.

You are right Exon. There are many beautiful spots in this world. Hope to see as many as possible.

Venkat,
How did you end up in Long Island?
Actually my nephew is also new to driving around JFK, so he got lost in the labyrinth of roads crisscrossing the Airport, one of those rare occasions.. He is usually very meticulous and considers it a back mark on his career...
then, we just got talking animatedly, without thinking about where we are...So we ended up in Long Island.
Posted by: lakshmi Jul 24 2008, 07:51 PM
Venkat,
Got it. You must have simply continued on LI expressway. It happens to many people.But, it is not easy to get lost in US. The signs are so clear and the map will take you back.

Exon,
I don't gamble much. I go with 50 bucks and when I lose, I call it quits. I play slot machines or black jack. I think very few people are lucky to win big amount and they also lose it playing over and over. I just like to visit these cities to see the colorful casinos.

Breathtaking !!
Couldnt help but recall these lovely poem..
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
The purple headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
Thanks Lakshmi..you just keep reminding how beautiful life can be..
