The Salt Lake Temple

TESL48fa-0405.+Salt Lake City, Utah

As Fall is upon us, I am thinking of Spring.  I love this photo I took back in April of 2005.  The Salt Lake Temple took 40 years to build and is a symbol of the love those early, dedicated members of the 1800’s had, giving so much to their time, talents and resources to their Lord and God!

Photo taken with my Canon 20D camera.

Sunset on the Oquirrh Mountains

+SS5d-1004.(01).+80Salt Lake City, Utah

What a beautiful view of a gorgeous sunset we had.  I could see the sky was changing color as the sun set over the Great Salt Lake. So, I hurried outside and up the hill behind our house. And, this is what I saw as the sunset on the Oquirrh Mountains.

On a bus tour of the British Isles that we went on in 2004, we walked thru the University of Cambridge, which was founded in 1209.  It is a beautiful campus and I found a lot of bikes to photograph!

Alnwick Castle was transformed into Hogwarts in ‘Harry Potter’. On our bus tour of the British Isles in 2004 we went to Alnwick Castle. It was so fun to be there and feel the Hogwarts spirit.

Back in 2004 we went to Denver to visit our son’s family.  On the 4th of July he took us to his work office where we had a beautiful view of the fireworks.  I sure hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July, CELEBRATE this great land!!

Mirror Lake

bo1d-0704-mirrorlake-60Uinta Mountains, Utah

Because of the amount of snow the Uinta Mountains get, you can’t get up to Mirror Lake until the summer.  In July of 2004 I took a friend up there.  The higher we climbed the worse the weather got, until it was raining really hard.  Even so, it was still gorgeous and the boat in the photo just added to it.

Landing

aps1cd-0204Salt Lake City, Utah

In 2004 I took a photography class and one of our assignments was to take a photo using light. I was in Denver during that week, visiting our son and his family, and so I wasn’t able to get my assignment done, until I returned home and as we landed I looked out the window and took this photo of our landing. My teacher really liked it!
