The Most Famous Painting In The World From A Different Angle
Undercover 5 months ago
The Mona Lisa is, imho, one of the biggest and longest ongoing hypes that lack foundation. Someone called it the most important painting and the inflated hype is going on for decades. Leonardo WAS in fact a literal genius at his time, but there are literally thousands of historic paintings that are at least at the same artistic levels (just watch at how the Dutch masters painted fur! ). Leonardo did a ton of paintings that are way more interesting (sketches of machines etc)

Mt. Rushmore From An Unusual Angle
Kat 5 months ago
On opposite wall I see a lady with her eyes closed, pursed lips….now I can’t stop seeing it.
Robin Roper 5 months ago
She is probably native and her pursed lips are the response to the desecration to the sacred land and rock.

I believe we are actually talking about Tȟuŋkášila Šákpe or "Six Grandfathers" here.

George Washington at Mount Rushmore. He's accompanied by Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Black Hills of South Dakota, USA.

I know Mount Rushmore has a reputation for a "don't see" American tourist attraction, but I found the site, its surroundings, and the story about it well-worth visiting. Would recommend going in the off-season, though!

I've taken that picture; its from a pull of just west of the visitor's center.

I took a photo from this same angle. I enlarged it on canvas and hung it on my wall. One of my favorite Black Hills photos.

Sculpture started in 1948 in the Black Hills of South Dakota. There is no ETA on a completion date. Twice a year you can climb to the top during the Volk's March and get some great photo ops.

I'd really to like to know how some of the photographers got permission you use drones. Many landmarks in the US prohibit their use. cf. Ukraine.
