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.
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!

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.

SLC really is a pretty place, and I’m glad yo got to see a bit of it beyond the Salt Palace and the FHL. Beautiful pics.
