Salt Lake Temple - Beautiful Fall Afternoon
This photo was taken the same time as the last post. It was a beautiful autumn day and I wanted to take some photos on Temple Square during the fall season, which I rarely do. Almost every year I am eager to photograph the riot of beautiful flowers during spring, and at Christmas time I enjoy photographing the gazillion twinkling lights that adorn the trees and frame the temple.
This fall day, the weather was delightful and the mood seemed mellow, calm, and peaceful. People strolled slowly by, enjoying the beauty of the moment. A bridal party and their photographer were creating memories. Families were admiring the still beautiful flowers that will soon be gone. It seemed to be a transition time between the busy, hot summer months of vacation and tourists, and the preparation and anticipation for the upcoming holiday season filled with Temple Square concerts, lights and decorations, and our focus on the birth of our Savior. Taking pictures here was a great way to spend a beautiful fall afternoon!
