A photo tour of Utah wouldn’t be complete without a picture of the center of Salt Lake City, the Mormon temple. We walked around Temple Square on Christmas Eve. The temperature was well below freezing, and I was with a bunch of relatives who weren’t going to wait for me to take pictures. I did snag a few, but they are all a bit over or under exposed. I didn’t have time to take multiple exposures.
I had a hard time choosing between today’s images. Instead of making a choice I will present both.
When I woke up the day after Christmas the above was the view from my bed. My camera happened to be next to the bed so I just reached down and took this photograph while still lying down. The snow on the bottom of the window frame reminded me of how kids draw snow scenes. This may have been the first time I actually saw snow lining the bottom of a window in real life though.
Not content with just a view while horizontal, I also went up to the window to capture this second, unframed scene. A blue sky always seems a bit bluer when there is snow on the ground (plus the tinted window seemed to give everything on the other side of it a bit of a blueish hue).
During our week in Utah, breaks in the snow were infrequent; breaks in the clouds were even more rare. When they did happen I broke out my camera to feast on the views. The structure in this photo is a chicken coop. The town was Kaysville.
