I originally traveled down to the Salt Lake Temple to take some fall photos. I had a specific image in mind but was unable to find a suitable foreground tree or angle. As I wandered around looking for another angle I saw this shot.

I nearly missed this shot. The sun was nearly completely down and, due to the dense clouds, the area around the temple was quite dark. I packed up my gear, threw it in the car, and was heading out. As I drove up the road I looked back and saw this scene. I quickly parked the car, setup, and snapped some shots.

This shot was taken on a very stormy evening. The sun to the west had an opening in the sky which produced some fabulous colors on the clouds. There were also strong winds blowing in from the west, carrying with them dirt from the west desert, which added to the color richness in the sunset. You can see the effects of the wind in the slight blurring of the foreground trees. This shot is looking east from the road just to the west of the temple and it was quite a struggle to keep the rain off the lens.
