When you have less than a week to fit in four conference days, three visits to the Family History Library, and lots of socialising, there’s not much time left for actual sightseeing. I notched up some distance to-ing and fro-ing and along the way took shots that caught my eye. Here are some of them. My SLR is playing up at present so I took these with my phone camera.
View from my hotel room – isn’t it pretty?One of the entrances to the City Creek shopping mall…just up the road.The creek which runs through the shopping complex.
I just love fairy lights when it’s wintertime overseas. These were a mix of white and yellow.Looks like it belongs in France to me.Now THAT’s an Apple shop!Abravnel Hall, Centre for the Arts. I liked the sun on the red art work and the rather Expo-ish street art.The impressive entry to the Salt Palace Convention Centre – site of RootsTech and FGS.Liked this quirky construction framed by the mountains.I was surprised how quiet the streets were in SLC. You can see the Trax arriving in the centre of the road.
Do join me for Part 2 of my Incidental Sightseeing tomorrow.
It was so much fun Sharon…I’m sure you’d enjoy it. Just wish it was easier to back-to-back RootsTech with another trip but seasons don’t quite work for me.
I loved seeing these, especially the fairy lights and the near empty street… but all of it. Personal photos are always so much more interesting than tourist shots. I look forward to tomorrow’s offering.
Thanks for the memories.

Thank you for sharing your insight Pauleen. This year I have been really inspired to put SLC on the bucket list!
