1 – Top Left: Petroglyph found in Navajo territory at Monument Valley N.P. Utah.

2 – Top Right – Upper Row: Still Life by H.J. ( Decanter is part of my antique collection.)

3 – Top Right – Lower Row: Mount Rushmore National Memorial is centered on a colossal sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore  in the Black Hills near Keystone, South Dakota. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum created the sculpture’s design and oversaw the project’s execution from 1927 to 1941 with the help of his son, Lincoln Borglum. The sculpture features the 60-foot (18 m) heads of Presidents George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt(1858–1919) and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), as recommended by Borglum. The four presidents were chosen to represent the nation’s birth, growth, development and preservation, respectively. The memorial park covers 1,278 acres (2.00 sq mi; 5.17 km²) and the actual mountain has an elevation of 5,725 feet (1,745 m) above sea level.
