Incidental Sightseeing Part 1: Salt Lake City


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.

I just love fairy lights when it's wintertime overseas. These were a mix of white and yellow.

I was surprised how quiet the streets were in SLC. You can see the Trax arriving in the centre of the road.

  1. 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.
