The Tabernacle
A totally unassuming building from outside, this is the primary venue for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. |
|

The pipe organ and choir seating inside. They have a demonstration where someone drops a pin at the podium. You can clearly hear it at the rear of the building. |

I got one of my Seattle colleagues to pose for this shot. The goal was to have him appear to be walking on water. |

This is outside the Relief Society Bldg. I have no idea what it is. |
|
|
|
The Temple
The sunbeams streaking through behind the Temple made for a nice photo. |

Joseph Smith Memorial Building
One of the buildings on Temple Square, it attracted my attention mostly for the beehive on the roof. |

Driving downtown
More nice views on our way to the foothills north of town. |
