#World’s Fair Wednesday
Bud Fisher who climbs the high flag poles on the Avenue of Flags at A Century of Progress, gives the crowds there a real thrill when he poises as for a dive to the asphalt 90 feet below him, on the top rung of the Mack fire truck extension ladder. He performs thrilling feats on the ladder daily when not busy with the flags.

I'd Started My Trip at This Point and Finished it Here (Mount Rushmore National Memorial) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: When I showed up that Thursday afternoon in South Dakota, the skies were heavily overcast and I couldn't see very far, much less see any of Mount Rushmore or its sculptured faces.

#findyourpark (Mount Rushmore National Memorial) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A hashtag that I've come to appreciate during my travels to this country's national parks, monuments, and memorials. Here it wasn't just the peaks of Mount Rushmore with its sculptured faces or the promenade with the Avenue of Flags...no, it was also the people walking to the main plaza overlook and other returning that best captured the feel for being here. It was people from seemingly all walks of life coming to visit this location, probably take a few images and share the time with family or friends. Recently I came across an article on the DPS site (digital-photography-school.com/7-tips-make-travel-photogr...) that discussed including people in travel photos. The idea being that it gives a perspective in size and just makes a photo feel "real," for lack of better words.
