Christmas Lights on Temple Square ~ Part 2

In a previous post, I shared some photos I took while our family visited Temple Square in Salt Lake City on November 29, 2013. That was the night the Christmas lights were turned on for the first time this Christmas season. What a beautiful sight!

Today, I'm sharing more pictures from our visit. I hope you enjoy them.

A photo of the Salt Lake Temple through the trees.



Lovely luminaries.



A beautiful nativity scene in the center of the reflecting pool.



Here's a different viewing angle of the nativity scene in the photo above. The magnificent building behind the nativity scene is the The Salt Lake Temple.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Our Visit to Avila Beach, California ~ Part 6: Views From Under The Pier

In my previous post about our visit to Avila Beach, I told you I would share photos of the Avila Landing, which is under the Avila Beach Pier.

So, without further ado, I bring you views from under the pier ~

First of all, here is the stairway that takes you to the Avila Landing. That's my husband there in the photo.



Here's a zoomed in view of the Avila Landing sign in the photo above.



I took this picture from the stairs leading to the Landing. Look at all of that seaweed!



It's just those rusty-looking stairs between me and the ocean below.



Well, here we are! Under the pier!



That long metal walkway leads to the other side of the Landing. It looks like the metal on that section of the walkway is newer. It doesn't look rusty. See the difference?



The metal walkway to the other side of the Landing.



Another view from under the pier. I was standing on the walkway in the photo above when I took this photo.



On the other side of the landing, there was another stairway to a lower landing. Here it is. My husband got there before me.



We'll go down those stairs in a future post.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Lights on Temple Square ~ Part 1

Last week, our family spent the Thanksgiving holiday together in Utah. We had a wonderful time.

On Friday, November 29, we all traveled to Salt Lake City to see the Christmas lights on Temple Square.

For those who've never been to Temple Square, the magnificent building in these pictures is the Salt Lake Temple. Construction of this temple took 40 years to complete. The groundbreaking took place on February 14, 1853 and the dedication was held in April of 1893.

The Salt Lake Temple is the largest temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.



My husband and I had been to Temple Square before, but never at Christmas time.



These pictures will hopefully give you an idea of just how beautiful Temple Square is during the Christmas season.



But, being there is so much better. These photos simply can't compare with the experience of seeing the amazing beauty of Temple Square at Christmas time in person.



I'll be sharing more photos from our visit to Tempe Square in a future post.
