Every year since 2002 I’ve traveled to Salt Lake City to conduct research at the Family History Library during the Thanksgiving weekend to enjoy the relative quiet of the Family History Library while most people are out Christmas shopping. This trip has become my own genealogical holiday tradition.
On Sunday evening, I visited Temple Square to view the holiday lights. I hope you enjoy these photographic memories of this year’s trip to Salt Lake City.

Thanks for sharing these beautiful photographs. When I visited Salt Lake City several years ago, I marvelled at the beautiful flower gardens on the temple square.
The buildings there certainly are impressive. Great shots, especially the one of the reflecting pool.
Thank you for posting these. I’ve never been able to get to T. Square to see the lights and your photos are just beautiful!
By the way, I love your Christmas header! It’s really cheery.
Steve, these pictures are beautiful! Makes me want to go there at the same time you do! I LOVE lights, you made my evening! Thanks so much for sharing these!
Thank you for sharing these great shots, Steve. They make me envious!
Fantastic photos Steve, and my idea of a wonderful (if too short) time away 🙂
Also very pleased to find another narrative Polish entry tranlsated in your Dec 4th posting, and I hope the start of a new series of them! I’m currently trying to make some kind of genealogical sense of Land Records I have just received (1936 – in Polish). I think there’s a good chance I am making mistakes…
Kindest regards,
Bronwyn.
The photos are breath taking, Steve. I’ve never been to Salt Lake, but hope to go there someday. Thanks for sharing.
