My Photos Options

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.

Stations like these are landmarks or have history behind them so they are used for people to enjoy the old designs and remember the past.

I wish they preserved stuff in India too, most of the old buildings in India end up space for drug peddlers or Gai ka tabela

Not any more. People have realized the value and some of the old homes have been brought under restoration. In Mumbai - the Heritage is doing their best.
