Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. LIBVW_030518_22.JPG: This view south from the library roof gives you a good view of the shore of Lake Bonneville. Thousands of years ago, there was supposed a lake which occupied much of western Utah. Eventually, it sprung a leak and over the period of couple dozen years drained into the Snake River up in Idaho. The Great Salt Lake occupies just the bottom of the old lake.
2. LIBVW_030518_52.JPG: You can see the mass-transit line coming through town here. Salt Lake City has a very cheap ($1.25 each way) mass transit system. I could park for free in Sandy, 10 miles to the south of the city, and ride into town. I was told the mass-transit system was added for the winter Olympics and that they intended to lengthen it now because it was working so well.
3. LIBVW_030518_60.JPG: Other people checking out the view from the roof of the library. The second time I visited the library, the main viewing section shown here was closed off. Between visits, someone had apparently broken through the security gate and into the library so they had sealed it off awaiting repairs.
4. LIBVW_030521_03.JPG: I'm told that a bunch of the buildings in the distance were the sites of some of the winter Olympic games in 2002. The mountain pass behind them is supposed to be the one that Brigham Young came through with the first Mormon settlers.
5. LIBVW_030521_06.JPG: This is about the only Roman Catholic cathedral in the city
6. LIBVW_030521_18.JPG: You can see the dome of the state capital there. To the left of it is the Church Office Building.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2003 photos: Trips this year: Three-week trip this year out west, mostly in Utah. Equipment this year: I decided my Epson digital camera wasn't quite enough for what I wanted. Since I already had Compact Flash chips for it, I had to find another camera which used CF chips. That brought me to buy the Fujifilm S602 Zoom in March 2003. A great digital camera, I used it exclusively for an entire year. Number of photos taken this year: 68,000.
