An Indian At Washington Square...

This afternoon I took a break from the 48-Hour Hold List (those with whom I work know what I'm talking about...) and walked over to Washington Square. I've taken dozens of pictures of the big building in the middle of the square (it's the Salt Lake City City-County Building...), but during this time of year, the beauty surrounds the building.

 

I entered the park from the northeast corner and I saw for the first time a statue of an indian, a statue I didn't know was there. It's an impressive work. It must stand 12 feet tall or taller. I tried getting some interesting shots, but it's difficult to capture the real feeling you get when you're standing in the park.

So, here's some of the shots I took today. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by and check it out yourself.

Darn fly...

Pretty day at the square.

One Of My Favorite Buildings...

My mother-in-law has some great books about the architecture of downtown Salt Lake City. One book in particular shows areas of the city taken at various times in the past and how those same areas look today, and whenever possible, the pictures are taken from the same vantage points.

Across the street from where I'm currently working is a building called simply enough, The City/County Building. It's one of my favorites. One aspect I especially like is that the upper part of the building seems to float on a sea of green foliage in the summer. 

 

The same holds true for my winter picture, only this time it's floating on a blanket of white.

There are many interesting structures downtown. This is a good one...
