Signs of Spring are finally showing--yay!!
It has been a particularly cold winter in Utah and while I've learned to deal with most of it, there comes a moment when it would really be nice to start feeling the warmth of the sun and the season that is starting to change. Since work moved me right smack to Downtown Salt Lake City, I've been taking little adventures on foot during lunch.

I believe Salt Lake is a good walking city. Of course everyone is used to seeing mainly the most popular spots (Temple Square, State Capitol) and while they're beautiful in their own right, there are a lot of other quirky places that have lots of local charm, history and oddly enough plenty of diversity.

What is most interesting to me is the level of interesting stuff that I'm able to find while walking around town, rather than riding in a car--yes I know there's a difference but I really enjoy this and of course I get to take advantage of the physical exercise wandering around town. I set up an album on Facebook to keep track of these findings and while I do want to also take shots of the popular areas--I want to be able to find good places that just beg to be photographed.

I notice a lot more when I am a passenger in a car rather than the driver. Enjoy your walks downtown. I worked on Main & Third South for a while, also on Main and South Temple. That was many years ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean--I took a friend along on a walk today and took another picture of the Walker Tower on Main St, but---well it is daytime and the lights are off, LOL...I'll have to remember to look for it at night time! :D
