Salt Lake City, often shortened to Salt Lake or SLC, is the capital and the most populous city of the U.S. state of Utah. With a population of 189,899 as of the 2011 estimate, the city lies in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, which has a total population of 1,145,905. Salt Lake City is further situated in a larger urban area known as the Wasatch Front, which has a population of 2,328,299. It is one of only two major urban areas in the Great Basin (the other being Reno, Nevada), and the largest in the Intermountain West.
The city was founded in 1847 by Brigham Young, Isaac Morley, George Washington Bradley and several other Mormon followers, who extensively irrigated and cultivated the arid valley. Due to its proximity to the Great Salt Lake, the city was originally named "Great Salt Lake City"—the word "great" was dropped from the official name in 1868. Although Salt Lake City is still home to the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), fewer than half the population of Salt Lake City proper are members of the LDS Church today.
Immigration of international LDS members, mining booms, and the construction of the first transcontinental railroad initially brought economic growth, and the city was nicknamed the Crossroads of the West. It was traversed by the Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental highway, in 1913, and presently two major cross-country freeways, I-15 and I-80, intersect in the city. Salt Lake City has since developed a strong outdoor recreation tourist industry based primarily on skiing, and was host to the 2002 Winter Olympics. It is the industrial banking center of the United States.

You will have seen this image before but as part of my Landscape Photographer of the Year entry I felt it was worth a re-share. Yes I have entered! Lots of people have asked me about it and to be honest I have entered every year for the past 4 years. With my photographic style of shooting and editing developing (excuse the pun!) its my goal to one day make the book! I never hope or dream of winning as I feel that's way beyond me - but I just want to make it into the book!
Time to keep my fingers crossed and hold my breath....
Many Thanks to the +16,145,000 visitors of my photographic stream

This is a 3exposure HDR rendered in photomatix. My friend wanted to shoot from this spot so we parked at a grocery store and walked to the nearest bridge. I debated on going with him thinking that it wouldn't be a good view. Man was I wrong, and he totally right. The colors are natural on this which I thought was pretty cool. It's as if paint was thrown into the water. It was a little dark so I did brighten it a touch.
