I do hope that you will forgive my showing Mt. Rushmore "flooded" like this, courtesy of the "Lake" applet. It is totally illogical, I know!. There is no such water at Mt. Rushmore with the giant figures cut into the top of a mountain in the Black Hills of South Dakota. But the fine image inspired me to create a vision reminiscent of the gigantic carved images at Abu Simbel in upper Egypt. The temple of Abu Simbel used to be on the banks of the Nile until it was threatened by the rising waters behind the Aswan Dam. The temple was not lost for ever, however. Rather it was cut up into small pieces and stunningly reerected on higher ground overlooking Lake Nasser. I found this fine Mt. Rushmore image at the csn23.com site or specifically click here but have no idea whose image it is.
