Abraham Lincoln

This close-up shows what the "sparkle" in the eye really looks like.
One mistake with the dynomite and oops............

Here's what I learned (and you may already know!):

The eyes are 11 feet wide and 5 feet high.
The noses are 20 feet long.
The mouths are 18 feet wide.
The heads are 60 feet from chin to top of the head.

Canon EOS 40D
1/400s f/11.0 at 200.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Debbie , excellent presentation, great portait of our 16 th president of the United States of America. Your information is excellent and it always amazes me how talented these people are in this type of sculptures in the side of mountain. He was a great President and deserves the fuss we make about him. Vote

Nice! I was there once - it was so foggy that you could not see 5 feet in front of you. Didnt even catch a glimpse of them!! Maybe one day i will go back - this time camera in hand!

Guest		09-Sep-2008 11:14

A big white embossed 4-pixel stack created with an impact hammer instead of an Intel Quad ;-) Fine imaging, as well as informative.
