Book Statue in Gilgal Garden.

 

[wthorson]

This is a big birdhouse in the Gilgal Garden.

 

[wthorson]

This is the strangest thing in the garden, it is a hand reaching out of the rock to touch a heart.

An unfinished statue.

This is a nice stone arch at Gilgal.

That's actually, almost ghoulish. Interesting, but ghoulish.

Salt Lake City at Night from a distance.

Layton at Night from a distance.
I was out trying to take a photo of the International Space Station, but I never saw the Station. So I took these photos of the lights at night.

Walking out of a building at the University I saw this beautiful sunset.

I've spotted it before but never taken a photo of it. It moves by pretty fast. You can get on NASA's Web site and they have a page that tells you when and where in the sky the ISS will be for your geographic region. Pretty cool. Plus, you can find free programs that do the same thing that ham radio operators use.

Thanks for the information Barbara. I will try getting the ISS again.

This is a good site for tracking the ISS also. It doesn't have many cities listed but it does work for my area.

Thanks Marilynne for the ISS information. It looks like the ISS will be right over me tonight. Let's hope for some good shots.

Blue Flowers that I found on my walk tonight.

 

[wthorson]

These are Russell's Lupin.

 

[wthorson]

These are nice yellow flowers, but I don't know what kind they are.

 

[wthorson]

This is a nice quiet lane near my house.

 

[wthorson]

This is an old fence that I drive past every day. It was interesting to get up close and see the details.

A cool playhouse in a neighbor's yard.

I hadn't seen this until I went for a walk.

Got a question - did you shoot this pic at this angle as posted?

 

[wthorson]

White Light, Are you asking about the blue flowers? Yes, this is the angle that I shot it. The flowers are quite small about 1 cm. I did very little editing on these photos. Thanks for the compliment, on my shots.

I love lupins. My parents had a whole field just filled with them. Ours were always the purple or white ones. Love the color of these.
