SLC at Dusk

Driving around SLC at dusk can yield some very cool views. Here's a few we grabbed with the new camera, though it's still somewhat difficult to get a clear shot as it gets darker.

Here's the temple as you come down First Ave.



The sun sets behind the Oquirrh Mountains to the west of the city...

Here's the State Capitol with the city in the background

Just north of the Capitol, here's the west side of the city. You can see the Oquirrhs a little, and the Great Salt Lake is thinly visible too.

Another shot, but a little more zoom.

Turning slightly farther to the south - no more sunset, but you can see the outline of the Oquirrhs behind the lights of the city.

Another shot of the Oquirrhs - you can see a bit more of the Great Salt Lake.

Here's the front of the Capitol as you come up State Street.

It was getting darker, but we were able to get a few more shots of the city - this time from I street at the top of "The Avenues" not far from our place.

And another.....

And one more, this time trying out fireworks mode. In case you didn't realize, you can click the pictures so they are much bigger. If you click this one, you can see the Temple off to the right...

Next time, we'll try to go a little earlier to get some better shots that don't blur the lights quite so much.
