Rapid City, South Dakota's Best Skyline ++ Tons of PICS of the Black Hillls
 
Here are a few pics of South Dakota's best skyline. Nestled within the beautiful Black Hills and with a metro pop. of 120,00 Rapid City is second to none in South Dakota. Sioux Falls may be bigger but Rapid City's skyline and setting just plain have it beat (which isn't really saying much but hey it's South Dakota). http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1.../Canon1118.jpg

Here are a few more I took from just outside Rapid City in the Black Hills and Badlands region.

Great shots, I always love to see a new small city skyline on here!

Rapid City looks like a nice small city.

The natural setting is great! Do you have higher quality of those nature pictures? I'd like to use a few as backgrounds on my computer some time.

oliveurban Dec 27, 2006 12:35 PM

Nice pictures.

Great job taking pics of this city. It's exactly as i remember it. I've also been hiking up to that same spot that you had in the Black Hills with that hole in the rock. Also, a photo tour of Rapid is not complete without the dinosaurs! BTW is this where you live? I've got a couple of great friends that live out in that freezing arse windy place! ;)

I know, I need to get out and take a few of the dinosaurs, gotta love the hoakie americana. Yeah, I grew up here but I just moved back from Vegas in March, I was there for 3 years and Denver for 5. I didn't really care for Vegas but I do miss Denver quite a bit. I think L.A. is next, probably some time this spring or summer.

The city reminds me a lot of Maryville, Tennessee. The scenic pictures are stunning. Really beautiful.

Thanks for sharing!

No problem, are little Canon can take some pretty nice pics, when it feels like it that is.

Ooo, nice! I'm a small town/city aficionado, too. I've only passed through there once, and it was too foggy to see much, but I remember thinking this would be the perfect spot for a major city. It looks bigger than I thought it would -- looks about the size of the "big cities" in Montana. I hope Rapid City can continue to prosper. :tup:

Looks like a boring city without much for the city folk but it looks like a great natural environment.

phillyskyline Dec 29, 2006 12:48 AM

You know there's got to be a story behind a rowhouse ending up all by its lonesome. I'm thinking there's a ghost town involved.
