Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam,
Where the deer and the jackelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.


This is what I hear in my ears each time I look at these photographs.

Thanks for posting!

Lovely set of images Anirban, and David's poetic response seems entirely consistent with your interpretations of this state.

Looking at the Mt Rushmore image (#24) reminds me that on our TV this evening was a news clip reporting that some of the current US President's supporters want to see his his image up there with the first four............

Thank you David. Glad you like them.

Dave H - that poem is very appropriate. Thank you.

Hugh - it was eve of July 4th and I came across many supporters of current US president on the streets of South Dakota.  ::)
