Temples from the Air

March 14, 2010 by rickety 5 Comments

Salt Lake valley from the air

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.

Past Pictures: 15 Free Dual Screen Wallpapers

April 22, 2009 by rickety 14 Comments

Yesterday I was downloading a number of free dual screen wallpapers. It occurred to me to make some of my own. Here are fifteen of my first efforts. They can be used for any purpose, without attribution. Click on the images to access the 3000 x 1200 resolution photographs. Join in the voting and let me know which one you like best. I am keeping a tally at the end of the post. I used a Canon Powershot SD870 IS and a SD800 IS to take the photographs.

Family Photographs

This evening we took family photographs. The light was fading and it wasn’t enough to avoid some really rickety photographs from my camera. Fortunately Mark was the professional photographer today and in a little while we will have the real photographs. In the meantime mine will have to do. Mark’s wife, Connie, still got some good pictures with my Canon and it is her efforts on display. Daniel will soon be gone on his mission so we have to get the photographs before the end of the month otherwise it will be another Photoshop job. Not pretty.

Who is this Rickety?

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.
