A Roadside Attraction Worth the Stop

Vining, Minnesota: Nyberg Sculpture Park

This friendly visitor seems to be enjoying the local scenery.

 After seeing his panther sculpture in Parkers Prairie, we had to finish the afternoon with a trip to the source: the Nyberg sculpture park in Vining, Minnesota.

Parkers Panthers Pride

The Parkers Prairie High School panther, a gift from my aunt's graduating class.

A Vision Carved in Stone

The massive carving rising above the Black Hills forest.

 It's hard to believe it has been over twenty years since I was last in the Black Hills, and my last visit to the Crazy Horse Memorial. While the progress on the mountain itself is a deliberate and generational process, the scope of the entire project is what truly resonates.
