Park City Panoramic

Terri and I helped out DesignBuildBluff this weekend by volunteering at the Green Home Tour. This was the house that we helped at. It was decent. Very sustainable, but not very striking.
On another note, some people might wonder "Why do Terri and Tristan work in Park City?" For those that have not been here, this is why...This house that we helped out at sits atop the mountains that are on the other side of the basin from Park City. So what you see is an overview of the fantasticness of the PC area, including The Canyons ski resort, some of Park City Mountain Resort, and if the lighting was better probably some of Deer Valley Resort. It's a pretty decent area.

Fall stream

We took a short drive up Lambs Canyon this afternoon to try and find some fall action. We were not disappointed. I hope that these photos do not disappoint you. We had never been up Lambs Canyon, which is an exit somewhere about half way between home and work, but had always wondered what was up there. Mostly its just a nice narrow drive up a canyon with a few cabins here and there. It was nice, since there is only one or two trail heads and no big parking areas, and most of the land is privately owned, so it wasn't busy at all. Plus the colors are really at their peak or close to it. I love Fall, but ever since moving here school had always made me too busy to get out and enjoy all the colors and cooler temps. I always seemed to find time to get out with Terri just after peak in the past, when only a few Aspen still had a few leaves remaining.It's been nice getting to drive by this scenery everyday to and from work and being able to watch and track the progression of color.

Typical fall commute

A nice thing about Utah is that we get an extended Fall of sorts. While the trees have been starting to change up in the mountains, the trees in the valley have yet to begin their chromatic shift. So, this is what our commute to work has looked like for the last week or two, plus a shot of the view out my window, and in a way, Terri's window since her building is the one across the street and her office window looks out onto the same mountain side.

Uinta mountains

On the way to Ruth Lake, in the Uinta Mountains. Not a bad place to be.
