Temples from the Air

March 14, 2010 by rickety 5 Comments

Salt Lake valley from the air

The Salt Lake valley from the air, with the Draper temple in the foothills


On the flight from Fort Worth to Salt Lake City my wife gave me the window seat. I took a few photographs as we approached Salt Lake. If you look closely at the first photograph (click to enlarge) you can see the Draper temple in the center of the picture in the foothills. The second picture obviously is the Jordan River temple. The last photograph has a lot of familiar landmarks. The Utah State Capitol, the U on the mountain, the Church Office Building with the Salt Lake temple to the left.

      We must see the photographs of your city when you take to the air.

    Wow, the view is just amazing. I can’t say anything else. I wish I could see that personally.

    Wonderful view! No one could ever question the wonders of the world and the wonders of science as building and new technologies emerge.

    When I saw I feel like I am on the air travelling to different country. Though it sometimes it is scary to ride a plane however, it is stress free.

Rick at homeI'm Rick Willoughby. I live in Utah, a retired Software Engineer. I'm a Mormon, married with 5 children and 12 grandchildren.

I emigrated from England in my late twenties, bringing with me one small suitcase and a few dollars. I appreciate the opportunities America has given me and the friendliness of the people to new citizens.

I blog about my family as well as politics, religion, finance, technology, and other topics.
