Autumn

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the colors and the temperature, the sweaters and light jackets, the promise of sleep at night at last because the blazing heat is gone. I fell in love with Autumn when I was living in West Orange, New Jersey. The landscape there was a sea of bright colors. So when I got a chance to go up to our television transmitter site in the mountains to shoot pictures of the changing leaves, I jumped. I love going up there. The whole Oquirrh Mountain Range is owned by Kennecott Copper so the public isn't allowed up there. People don't know what they're missing. It's beautiful. I've seen elk and a mountain lion up there. There's also a lot of history. Johnson's Flat is up there. That's where Johnson's army camped while they were stalking the mormons who'd settled Salt Lake.

This is a shot of me with the Salt Lake Valley as a backdrop. If you look really closely, you can just make out downtown Salt Lake in the haze in the middle left.

This is on the other side of the mountain range looking down at Stansbury Park. The Great Salt Lake is just out of frame on the right.
