Last week, an interesting string of clouds passed in front of the Wasatch Front Mountains looking east from the Salt Lake Valley, Utah: Mt. Olympus, Lone Peak, Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. It was one of the few warm, but very windy, days we've had so far this spring in Utah.

Good Morning and Happy New Year! I live in northern Utah County, (south of Salt Lake County) in Utah, USA. Utah County is a high desert valley surrounded by the Wasatch Mountains to the east, and the Oquirrh mountains to the west http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/us/A0861730.html

We've had a lot of snow the last month, piling up high in the surrounding mountains. This morning, I captured a couple of pretty mountain shots...all snowy and frozen highlighted by the rising sun.
