Salt Lake City, Utah Temple Lights

Tonight, on Christmas Eve, Brent and I drove to Salt Lake City to see the lights at Temple Square. Our biggest challenge was finding a parking space. It seems that several thousand other people had the same idea. The lights were stunning!



This tree is huge and completely covered in lights. the picture doesn't make it seem nearly as big as it was when I was standing near it.
This is the Assembly Hall at Temple Square. It is a Gothic style building that was built in 1877. Usually, they have one hour long music recitals here each evening but tonight it was closed.

The Temple looks spectacular with all of the lights glowing around it!



On one side of the temple is a reflecting pond. In the middle of the pond is a nativity scene. The nativity scene is reflected into the pond.




It was very cold tonight as we walked around Temple Square. Brent and I were both bundled up in our coats, hats, and gloves. I had a bonus scarf on and long johns to keep me warm. Merry Christmas!

It looks like the trees are on fire. How did they get the lights on the trees to look so cool.
