Here is the 2nd half of our trip. Most of these were in less than ideal lighting (mid day). However, it is absolutely gorgeous in the Black Hills and we enjoyed it immensely. Warning, lots of wildlife content.

1) me shooting with a 1966 Minolta Hi-Matic 9 I scored for 1.99 at Goodwill

    I haven't been to the Black Hills, or anywhere in SD for that matter. Makes me want to check it out. Thanks for the pics.

    Wow the hills are full of great things to see! I haven't seen any shots from Mt Rushmore in ages, so it's nice to get a peek from there.

    The last shot is just stunning, BTW. Your b/w treatment really makes it pop.
