Sunset at Utah State Capitol

28 Oct 2012 / in Photography

I wrapped up work in Salt Lake and am heading home past the state capitol building. Sporadic clouds, the last vestiges of the fall storm that brought over 40 inches of snow to the mountains, are still present in the sky, offering a promising sunset.

This photo was taken on a trip to the Salt Lake Temple to shoot the autumn leaves with the temple in the background. Like usual, the original purpose for my visit was a complete waste of time as the leaves weren’t peaking at all, but the skies were looking pretty good. After looking for several [...]
