For the past year Kevin and I have been talking about taking pictures of the sun setting over the Great Salt Lake. This past week it worked out that we could actually accomplish just that! We went to Ensign Peak which is a great location behind the state capital building that overlooks the city as well as the lake. You can hike to a lookout or take the longer and steeper trail all the way to the top of the peak. The hike to the top is worth it! Here are some of the pics I snapped while we were there:
As the sun set, the city started to light up. Boy is that a view worth taking in sometime (just remember to bring a flashlight for the trek down if you are going to hike up to the peak to see the sunset!)
Here's how beautiful the city looks as the sun goes to sleep:

Doesn't South Mountain look so far away? We live down near the mountains that you see far in the background!

Look how the city comes to life at night!
I think our next photo-taking location may be over by the lake again, but closer to the lake - maybe over by the marina. It was fun to experiment, practice our skills and make better use of my tripod!
