Well, the monument was impressive. 40 years ago, it was just a quick stop on a long trip to Banff. They have a nice job or sprucing up the place and visitor experience. Still real crowded, still people everywhere snapping pictures with little reguard for those around them, but the sculpture overwhelmes all the chaos. It is a master work. Enjoyed learning how Borglund adjusted and moved things to get to the final product. Adjusting shoulders, turning Jefferson slightly, cutting a shadow line to give the impression that Roosvelt is whereing his famous glasses, fashioning the eyes so that they all look more life like, like they look at you. Just magnificient! Dedicated to a bunch my favorite Presidents.
