View Benchmark is a prominent peak on the Traverse Ridge, below Lone Peak. Though it's low altitude and an easy summit most of the year, walking through thick snow in early February was an adventure.
Looking north into the Salt Lake Valley.
Discreetly sited at the entrance for carriages, another survey benchmark.
look at all the tool marks on the stone still clearly visible after 250 years.

Another sunset. The bench with view is quite appropriate as I'm off this week with the family to the Lake District.
I believe this might be the same bench from my previous shot, benchmark. I said I'd come back to it, and I did- this time the leaves were orange instead of green.

At the Helen Nisbet - Roberts Pollinator Preserve. I like the symmetry of these trees, with a thoughtfully placed bench between them. This is the open area of the preserve that will be managed with flowering plants favored by pollinators. With a southern exposure allowing ample sunlight it is ideal for that purpose.
During a corporate event at Brouwersdam (Ouddorp, The Netherlands) the beautiful sunset was too good to be missed, even though the lack of a tripod prevented the real ND/low-ISO deal.
It's been said before, and I'll say it again: Using a circular polarizer on a ultra wideangle-lens is a two-edged sword.
