Following yesterday’s post “How to Chisel More Detail from an Image of Mt. Rushmore“, today’s Photo Friday contains 4 more images of Mt. Rushmore National Monument in South Dakota. To capture these images, I arose before sunrise and made my way through the Black Hills to the monument. I parked in the parking garage (I don’t know too many National Monuments in the western states that would have one) and for the first time in my life I saw the monument without another soul around. I watched as the warm sunrise light hit the faces and changed the tones from a light purple to a fiery red to a warm yellow glow. These images portray different angles with different lenses and in different stages of the early morning light (in order earlier to later).
