WWI Monument

One of my favorite lunch time walks is to go up City Creek canyon through Memory Grove Park. It is amazing how you can go from the noise of downtown to the serenity in the canyon in just a few minutes. Memory Grove park is beautiful memorial to all of the fallen heroes from Utah. My first attempt at capturing the park's memorials is this photo of the World War I memorial.

In the center of the columns is a monument that lists the names of all the fallen soldiers. The engraving on the plaque reads:

1914 - 1918
IN GRATEFUL REMEMBERENCE
OF
THE HEROIC SONS OF UTAH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WORLD WAR
* * *
THIS MONUMENT ERECTED A.D. 1932
.
Let us never forget.

Bajio, Cafe Rio, or Costa Vida?

It is time for the showdown.  Which one is best: Bajio, Cafe Rio, or Costa Vida?  Or is it (as was my opinion) that they are all exactly the same?

I decided to do a taste test.  Six people participated.  Three were salad testers and three were burrito testers.  None of the people who participated have any food judging experience although a couple of them have competed in cooking contests and have a couple of first place finishes to their name.   Each couple went to a different restaurant and picked up a Sweet Pork Salad and an Steak Burrito to go.  We ordered each salad with black beans and their creamy green dressing (whatever they happened to call it).  The steak burritos were ordered enchilada style with black beans. Then we all met at a central location and judged each dish on the following:


Value Score = Weight (oz)/Cost($)
Overall Appeal (visual appeal, aroma, garnish)
Recipe (Cooking, ingredient combination, too moist or dry)
Taste (Flavor combination, Seasoning, Texture)

Sea Arch at Cabo

We just returned from a cruise to the Mexican Riviera.  Great Trip!  I didn't take my good camera, so these pictures were all taken with a Canon A1100IS, then processed in Aperture.

This is the sea arch at the end of the Baja peninsula near Cabo San Lucas

Old Barn

I don't want to be known as the guy who takes pictures of old barns, but I have to admit that I think old barns are cool.  This one is especially cool with a hole in the roof.

There is nothing special about this photo.  It is just a 3 shot photomatix HDR bracketed at +/- 2 stops at F8.  I messed with the saturation, contrast and sharpness a bit.
