In the last three posts, We have focused on the beauty of the Appalachian Mountain range. The Wasatch range to the East of Salt Lake city is overwhelmingly beautiful as well in a totally different way. The grandeur and majesty of this range is evident to the residents of Salt Lake City each morning as they awake and as in this picture, each evening with the westward sunset coloring the sky and mountains as it draws it's last breath for the day.

As I watched the end of this day move across the city as like a blanket being pulled onto a child falling asleep, the city took on a different air. The city more quite now, already shutting down for the evening began to fade as the Wasatch range...further east still remained illuminated by the setting sun. A beautiful and striking contrast between urban and pastoral captured in one image. To the residents of Salt Lake...I say you have truly the best of both worlds at your doorstep.
