Lighting Ceremony
A Night at Mount Rushmore
On our trip to South Dakota’s Black Hills, we visited Mount Rushmore. We were sure to plan our visit for early evening so we could take part in the nightly program and lighting ceremony. This photo was taken as we exited the Memorial.
The rows of flags leading to the monument were flags of the states and territories of the United States. The evening ceremony and historical program they present is well worth the time. The only charge is a $10 parking fee. ($5 for seniors and free for military and veterans.)
I took a lot of photos of Mount Rushmore from various locations at the monument and around the area. You’ll see them posted here…in time.
Of course, the photo was taken in the dark and contains a boat-load of digital noise. I did my best to remove what I could but I could only do so much. (I might have to try harder.)
