Travel theme: Dark in Salt Lake City

Admiring the charm of a lighted downtown mall in Salt Lake City after dark

Sometimes — well, a lot of times — we don’t have a particular place to see.  Sometimes we just roam, looking for adventures and interesting photo ops to present themselves.  And that’s how it was after dinner one evening in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah.  We decided to walk back to our hotel in the dark of early evening, through downtown, past dancing fountains where lighted shoots of water cast a glow on yellow autumn leaves.

We moved in closer and stood awhile.  Happy to be traveling.  At dusk.  In a new city.

      Thanks so much! I actually took a photography course, and when I hold still for a few minutes, I can adjust and attempt a good picture. It’s just that I’m mostly on the move, sometimes shooting from a moving car — so I get what I deserve from my camera, I guess. Best wishes for a great 2017!

    Experiencing a new destination at night-time is always so thrilling. Nothing looks quite like it did during the daytime!

      You are so right! And I guess that’s why we love to roam at night as much as in the day. Thanks for stopping by our blog!

      Thanks, Amy. We saw several unexpected scenes on our walk home. I love touring cities with new things around each corner! (As long as I feel safe!)

      Thanks so much! I’ve been trying to hold still and get the lighting correct but sometimes I just pick up the camera, put it on Auto and shoot. My photography skills are still a work in progress!

      Dawn, you are so right about needing some peace. As I write this, I’m watching riots breaking out in several cities. We just need to stand and stare at water fountains for a while and chill!

      Thanks! We loved them, too. But we also loved the underlighting on those fall trees. A pretty downtown area for the folks in Salt Lake City!
