Good pics, but she should have traveled more in ND as there is great scenery there in the badlands area.

Hi Ted, looks like you've been busy again! very nice album. Have you bought any new lenses? You're certainly doing well with the ones that you have. I think I'm about to be seduced by the new Canon 16-35 F2.8L II I have 3 or 4 more I would like, but I think that it will be my next purchase. Carol and I will likely be joing Shirley (Home_Base) again in October for a Fall trip. Just might be Utah this time, we'll see. Love your Aircraft albums, my wife worked on 16's for years. Her albums are listed under "Carolincv" Take care, always a treat to see new images from you. Randy

Ted, We just returned from an all too brief tgrip ot South Dakota - including Mt. Rushmroe and Crazy Horse. I enjoyed your album. Just wanted to say that we all miss you and new photos at WS. Hope all is well with you. God's Blessings, Carol

Hi Ted, I just chanced upon this album of the midwest, and since I'm from Minnesota, which is part of it, thought I should take a look. You are a wonderful son to do this for your mom. I've been to all these places and it's fun to see them through your eyes. Your mom, as I said in a comment, is one of few who are anxious to see North Dakato. ( I do have some friends there). Love your photos. Sharon

I am pleased to sign your guestbook for another GREAT album. You have done a wonderful job of capturing some beautiful shots of the Wonders of the Midwest. Keep up the good work & thanks for sharing. Thank you for your visit & nice comments on my featured album. Have a nice day from New Mexico "The Land of Enchantment".

said tj2052 2006.11.18 at 17:37:08 PST

Viewed most of the Wonders of the MidWest and downloaded every one of your DT photos. This was where we were supposed to have been the entire summer of 2006 as volunteers. Maybe next year.

Hi Ted, I enjoyed this album very much, especially the photos of Devils Tower. As a 20-year resident of the upper midwest, I'm sad to say that I've never visited some of its best features. I need to change that! Thanks for your very kind comments on my Tokyo album. Best, Marisa

said go_family 2006.08.24 at 18:30:42 PDT

Hi Ted, this is a great album, as I have said before. A place I would love to see. But you never know, maybe in the Future. Best wishe's. Ray.

said viking153 2006.08.23 at 06:57:18 PDT

Hi Ted! Thank you for the beautiful pics. They really touched my heart! I am especially fond of the sunrises & sunsets over the mountains & oceans. Do you have any suggestions for off the road, out of the way, not normally visited places that you found while on your trips? We are planning a trip from TN to Durango, Co via I40 next month and just wondered if you had found any of these out of the way places that you would recommen we see on our way out or back. We will come back thru Pikes Peak then to Denver, up to Cheyenne, WY and back across I80 to Lincoln, NB. So any suggestions along the way would be appreciated. We always see the normal sites, but we have a fascination with finding the little out of the way places. Thank you for any suggestions you might have! Again thanks for the beautiful photos! Brenda

said lakeswan30102 2006.08.20 at 04:20:46 PDT

Oh yeah, Ted! To me, one of the man made (Rushmore)and one of the natural wonders of the world(Devils Tower)! As always your awesome photos really do the place justice. I had to put on the brakes again not to clutter you with photo mails, LOL. We were lucky enough for a really quick visit when traversing the country from Michigan to Oregon in 5 speedy days when we moved to Singapore. One day I'd love to go back and actually spend some time there: Thanks for sharing your trip with us, mate. Looks like you all had a great time, wonderful you took your mom along too!

Thanks Ted for your kind comments about my Southern Oregon Coast album. I took the chance to tour your views of the midwest. Very nice. Some places that I will see some day. Did you have any close encounters at Devil's Tower? I enjoyed the first views photos - something you don't normally get to see of these beautiful places. Keep the camera going.

Hi Ted and thanks for the guestbook entry. The photos here are super, I enjoyed the buffalo, rolling in the dirt and the dust flying. The huge rock that was seen from 5 miles out, must have been a sight to see. The photo through the tunnel is a spectacular. I have enjoyed this album and wonderful photos of Mt. Rushmore. Thanks Ted for sharing, and wishing you a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year... Darrell

Hi Ted, we have visited 17 US states, my daughter lives in one and we love to visit your wonderful country, This is a trip that I am planning to do some time, thanks for all your support in the community blog, and I have notices that you have some fav pics, it is such a shame that most people do not bother, we get these things and apathy sets in. Thankyou also for the very kind words for my feature, it was my very first album but I must say that I have drasticaly altered it over the past year., please take care and seasonal greetings to you and your family, Ken and Carolynn

Good Morning Ted. Thank you for the wonderful message this morning on my featured album. I had to come back to this album because I enjoyed it so much the first time around. Creating my images in "Just a Touch of Color" is so easy but time consuming. I am surprised that more people do use this technique. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Lynn

Hello Ted, Thank You so much for the kind words in my featured album, I very much appreciate it. I was in a bit of a shock at first.

Good Evening Ted. Thank you for visiting my Yosemite 2004 album. That was my first trip and I had such sensory overload. My best friend and I are planning a two week trip for next September before the snow flies. Unfortunately, the falls will be low with water, but the trees should be turning golden and that is okay. This album is awesome, by the way. I really enjoyed your trip to Devil's Tower. That is a goal down the road. My friend has never been to any of the National Parks here in the West and she lives in California! So, we are starting to make trips each year. Our husbands don't enjoy the same activities, so we do it alone. Thank you again for the kind comments. Lynn, Bonanza/Oregon, USA

said 1seahag 2005.11.06 at 18:24:42 PST

Hi, Ted! Very impressive album!!! Devils'Tower is really something to see!I'll never have a chance to see these locations in reality, therefore I appreciate browsing such albums as your and travel at least virtually. I've done you wrong as I haven't thanked you for being so kind and visiting my feature of mid-September(the day-trip to Hakone) and I would like to do so now and add to it another pair of Thank You for the visit at my feature on Halloween day. Both features at such short distance makes it very difficult to do the rounds and thank everybody....but I give it a try!Friendliest regards from Yoshiyuki Tanaka

said tanaka62 2005.11.05 at 05:05:52 PST

Hello Ted. Just dropped by to thank you for your kind words with regards to my recent feature. I appreciated you taking the time to call. I know I've viewed this album of yours before, but it's just as wonderful the second time around. I am SO impressed with your shots of Mount Rushmore... I'm also very excited to find out that you have a Canon Digital Rebel camera, because today hubby has bought me a very early Christmas gift, a Canon EOS 350D, which we believe is the same camera as you have. So..... have you any tips or advice to offer me on how to get the best results from it. I've beeen trying out macro shots and I'm not pleased with the results at all. Have you bought a special macro lens? Any advice and help would be most welcome. Finally..... if you would like to choose a favourite photo from any of my albums, I shall be more than pleased to add it to those of my Webshots friends. Look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Jayne xx

Hi Ted..What an awesome collection of photos in this album..You truly have an "eye" for beauty which is a gift from God as it shows in each of these captures..Two places which I've never seen in person but only through albums of others, like yourself from Webshots..Deserves to be a Featured Album my friend as it's one of the best I've seen...God's Blessings from Celina,TX...Ken

Hello, Ted Once again, your talented lends has captured some of my favorite places on earth, Sylvan Lake, to be precise. I grew up in Rapid City and the beauty of the Hills is a lifelong fascination. Please check out my newest album of my SD blitz tour. The Needles Highway was closed due to snow, but I think Iron Mountain Road may have compensated somewhat.

Hi Ted. I like this album. It captures the area where I used to live in 1988-89. Back then I was a poor student, and could not afford a good camera.

Hi Ted, congratulations on this wonderful album! I particularly enjoyed the telephoto shots of Mt. Rushmore. We've been to Wyoming and Montana several times, but have never made it to North Dakota or even eastern Wyoming so I particularly enjoyed this album. I didn't realize that you live anywhere close to the area affected by Katrina and now Rita. I hope you were not affected too badly. Last year we lost part of our roof to Charley so I know how difficult a time this can be. Best of luck to you and yours and remember that as long as it's only property damage, patience will bring final victory. Greetings from Florida, Paul. P.S. Thank you for your kind words on my Zion album.

Hello Ted and greetings from Kentucky. I really did enjoy looking through this album. This album is full of surprises along the way. From Mt.Rushmore which is just a great group of shots. But then there is the buffalo caught rollng in the dust. Then a rock that would have to be something to see in itself. What an album, truly a great one. Take care friend.... Darrell

Italia and my Alps are a beauty, but they are so little!!! Fantastic places (Mt Rushmore, Crazy Hores mountain and the INCREDIBLE Devils tower) and a GREAT photography are the perfect mix of this album. In true the quality of your photos is very high and it was really difficult choose my favorites. Anyway they are: 3, 24,30, 37, 48, 51,53, 57, 85 and 90 8 (not an important information, but....).

Happy belated July 4th! My goodness Ted, this is a wonderful comprehensive tour of some impressive monuments! It must have been a fun trip for your Mom as well! :) Great details of Mt. Rushmore! Certainly captured ALL facets of the intriguing and gynormous Devils Tower, really interesting tour! Love all the photos of the Buffalo/Bison they are such beautiful beasts with gentle eyes and a wild spirit! Liked your humour throughout the whole album as well. I have to say that the one photo that really just says it all to me for the midwest is "heading due north" shot. Flat, but beautiful! Many thanks for sharing this fantastic tour, really enjoyed every part of it! Wanted to send a belated thanks for viewing and commenting on my feature album in May, greatly appreciated! Kindness always and smiles to you, amy

said kester110 2005.07.05 at 09:45:12 PDT

Nice views, which I remember of course from Hitchcocks North by Northwest. As for your comment on my 'Fire' pictures: this of course was a typical case of 'Help me keep my big mouth shut until I know what I'm talking about', with the exception that as far as photography is concerned I know a little bit what I am talking about. My frustration leading to my remarks in that album was caused by the fact that the Webshots management have a growing tendency to feature albums with no discernable content at all, be they even out of focus or made by accidental pressing the shutter, as long as they are about something to the American far right. (Irak, the prez, flags etc.) I won't still let go off the illusion that WS is or might perhaps be about serious photography, but no. The problem is they have the best uploading software, compared with other sites like Morguefile or Usefilm. which are, by the way, a bit to highbrow to my mind. I am hard to please, I think and I am going to apologize to the poor 'colleague' who was zo proud of having made pictures of the prez and his plane.

said sante1 2005.07.03 at 23:04:41 PDT

Thank you so much for sharing your journey in this way, I saw DT and MR in the 70's but haven't been back since, and I don't think they had the trail around it then, either. Your comments and many pictures made me feel like I was able to make the journey myself, and I'm sure they were a delight to your mom, who missed the various views. I had to laugh when the album came to ND, though. I was born there, and even though we moved away, every time we went to visit I can't remember a single thing that there was there to see. So, you showed the sign, then you showed the sky as you left, how like my memories. You should be very glad you went in nice weather, it gets deadly cold in the winter. Again, thanks for sharing, Jeanie from Tacoma WA (now)

Hi Ted, first of all: thank you so much for your wonderful messages in the last month. I'm happy you liked my 'blue' and my 'power color' albums. Em will paint one of the 'power colored' images and so I am wandering up there on clouds of happiness! :-) This new album of yours shows some of the very well know and most probably most photographed monuments of your amazing country - but you always have a way to make it new and interesting with new angles and views. I love those close-ups of THE celebrities up there on Mt. Rushmore, face by face! Wow! Unbelievable! Then I was overwhelmed by that 'wide angle scene' of the rock formations at the other side of Sylvan Lake'! What a shot!! The other monument, The Devils Tower, I've seen it in a lot of albums, but never realized from how far it is to see in the flat scenery. I see too, you played a lot around with your 'Rebel'! :-) Thanks for that! It is like walking around there, looking up and more up and then close and closer! Lovely! I love that impressive view of the rock garden! Thanks for introducing your mother. I'm sure she was thrilled! And thanks for the wonderful skies all around the album. Have a wonderful day!

Hi Ted and I am in awe at the grandeur of the scenery in this part of the world - and also at your ability to capture it so well. We sure have a lot to thanks Messrs Eastman and Kodak for in introducing us to photography - it would have been a pretty drab old world without. Now I'm going to follow Ken and take a second, longer look at your feature album. Cheers for now, Peter. Ooooops, I almost forgot to thank you for your kind words in my John Forrest National Park album. That was a great, mid winter day out! All best wishes, Peter

Hello Ted, what an awe inspiring album this is, it shows the size and grandeur, of that part of the USA. I have promised myself to go to Mount Rushmore, and with luck it will part of a trip I am planning next year, I had a proper look at your beautiful well deserved feature again and can I congratulate you on it once again. Thanks for the Gb entry, and I will God willing be back for some more of your enthralling work, Take care Ken

Hi Ted, This is an amazing album. I just know it will be featured soon! There are too many masterpieces in to find a favored. You captured all the beauty of this part of the world in a breathtaking manner. Thanks so much for sharing these photos. Thank you for visiting my on June 22nd featured album and your kind entry in my guest book. To be featured is really something but all the nice words from the Webshots family made that day so very special. Heidi

Hello Ted. This is just an AMAZING album. If this isn't a feature sometime soon, I'll eat my hat!! Your photos are of superb quality and picture postcard perfect. Mount rushmore is high on my wishlist. I would dearly love to see this awesome structure and your photos have made me want to visit more than ever. Many thanks for your kind words about my featured album, albeit that I am a little late in replying to you. I never expected Ombersley to be so popular. I appreciated you dropping by. Cheers.

Hi Ted! What a wonderful treat for your Mom. I've been to Mt. Rushmore, but we never made it up close and personal to Devils Tower. Great photography. And your Mom got to visit North Dakota before I did! :-)) I think I'm about 3 states, not counting Alaska and Hawaii, short of seeing all the US. Wish we were lots younger and could travel much more. Thanks for your wonderful slideshow and also thanks for the congratulations on my featured album of A Midwest Spring. Have a wonderful weekend. Sharon

Hi! Like always wonderful photos... I'm also planing a trip to Mt. Rushmore next year. Thanks for your entries in my guesrbook, I put some new photos with my personal collection of gemstones, crystals and things. I hope some day I will make better pictures, but I only bought my first digital camera 7 days ago...so like I said I'm trying to capture the beauty of things that I see... when I'll have some time maybe I'll try to learn about photo-processing and give it a try but I'm only a doctor and donno much about image, maybe that's why I'm son interested and amazed about it... Thanks again, regrads, Paul.

Hi Ted: Have never been to Mt. Rushmore but think it would be a great trip. Thanks for sharing it in photos. Thanks also for stopping by and taking the time to sign my guestbook when my "Symmetry in Florida" album was featured. It was a surprise and a thrill! I really like your work and will take more time to look at it after answering the many guestbook entries that have come in. Thanks again! Ken - Maryland/USA

Hello Ted! Thanks for the tour, it's almost like being there, it brought back many memories of one of our trips to these wonderful sites.

Hello Ted! If someday i have to visit U.S., Mt Rushmore and Devil's Towers are for sur on my &quot;must to see&quot; list, too much wonderful images your shared with us in this album to pick a favorite. You made a superb album which would deserve a feature soon! Thanks for your comments on my albums recently, on the last three months the weather wasn't very good, mostly cloudy, rainy and coldest than normal, last time i have a good combination of clear blue sky and day off to make pictures was at the end of february but since the beginning of June better days are coming and and it's time now to take the road again. Thanks for your support and your kind words. Michel

Hi Ted!! First, Congratulations to your Mom on visiting all 48 Continental U.S. States!! How lucky she is!! Second, thank you for taking us all with you on this wonderful tour. I enjoyed the album very much, and it ended so fast! Such great shots of famous Mt. Rushmoore, beautiful captures of the buffalos, and wonderful views of the amazing DT!! I loved the combination of &quot;Yesterday Mobile&quot; with the beautiful nature. The &quot;Curious Fellar&quot; is fantastic! Finally, excellent scenery shots at the end of the album, the cloud formations and roads has an amazing 3D perspective!! Again, a great collection of photos and nice comments. I think it's high time that you'll be featured again!! God Bless, Orly

Hi Ted! Wow, what a spectacular album! Mt. Rushmore, the Black Hills, Devil's Tower and South Dakota are all so beautiful. Great photography my friend. Did you see the prayer tree at Devil's Tower? We were there 4 years ago, before digital, (scanning pictures isn't in my vocabulary!) and we thoroughly enjoyed it. So happy for your mom!!! What an accomplishment for her! She looks so happy in her pictures. Did you know that when they dug those tunnels, they planned on framing Mt Rushmore? What an amazing feat that was! The magical sky at Rapid City is beautiful...we stayed there for 3 days and saw some awesome lightening shows from the balcony of our motel. Thanks for sharing your wonderful vacation and your Mom's great accomplishment with us all...take care dear friend...hugs galore...Darlene

said briansbabe2 2005.06.12 at 08:35:15 PDT

WOW Ted!! You have done a spectacular job here once again!!! I had to call my husband into the room when I saw the awesome closeups of Mt Rushmore that you captured. The details are fantastic! I have never seen the surprise tunnel view of Rushmore represented in anyone's albums either. I too was blown away by how miniscule the climbers were on DT. YIKES! But can you imagine the view from the TOP! So much to see. Departing Impressions onward was the perfect ending!! I so enjoyed the tour and I am sure the Black Hills are in our future (with Sturgis and all) so thanks for sharing and helping me fill out my itinerary!! Jeanie

said soul0fgypz 2005.06.12 at 07:41:40 PDT

Magical skies seem to follow you around, Ted. I never see them. I loved this album, it's full of great shots. You did a great job on Rushmore. I've never seen it from a distance, like you did with one of your shots. This appears to be a trip we should all be jealous of. Great album, thanks for sharing it. Alan
