Fall Scenes from JSMB November 17, 2011

On November 17th, I had my camera at "work" and decided to leave the third floor, where we train, and go to the tenth floor and shoot some fall scenes from the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, formerly Hotel Utah. I wanted to capture a little of the "fall color". The following are what I saw.

These pidgeons love to roost on the ledges of this building. I never realized how pretty pidgeons are!

Look at these iredescent colors!

I know it is only one tree but it is pretty. There is a worktruck & workman on the street 10 stories below.

Here is the famous Salt Lake Temple as seen from the tenth floor.

This scene shows the Tabernacle to the left and the Conference Center in the right background

This is a reflecting pool in the courtyard near the temple. Now you can see some fall color!

This is another view of the courtyard.

This shows some architectural detail on the Temple.

This is a scene looking west on South Temple Street, I think. To the right is Temple Square, with the trees, which are still green.

I do not know what these buildings are but I love them and their character. Note the color on the trees. It may not be the Northeast but I am grateful for any fall color.

Those "character buildings are across the street from this beautiful, modern skyscraper. Look closely to the left.

These next two photos are of the Conference Center, where we have live performance, as well as semiannual conferences where our church leaders deliver great talks for the entire world-wide church.

Lastly, this is a view of the Church Office Building and courtyward. We often eat in the cafeteria in the basement of this building. On Thursdays, they serve a great prime rib for a very modest price. They have lots of other choices in the cafeteria also.

When you see my next blog you will understand why I had to capture these fall photos. We had a short fall season, seeming to go from summer to winter, with only a couple of weeks of fall.
