My photos from this week have no familiar or fun faces but they have some great Utah history. The other day, I got the opportunity to go and take pictures of the Governor’s Mansion. My mom is helping out on a committee. As part of the project my mom is working on, she wanted some textures to use from the mansion as background on some of the programs. While I was there, I also got to take some fun architectural pictures.
Awhile back, my friend was working on a client’s website and had the need for an architectural photographer. She threw me in as a possibility. Unfortunately, I wasn’t selected. So, I’ll just do my own photos and hope some day I have another opportunity.
Enjoy a little bit of what elementary age students get to see when they tour the mansion.
These thumbnails are of the ceiling, a candlestick, some woodwork, stenciling on the wall by the ballroom, more of the ceiling, coin collection, living room light, den wall, state bird on the governor’s desk, tea set, dining room light and the hall mantel.
Hope on over to Lolli’s for some wonderful “best shots” and over to Cecily and Mamarazzi for some photo stories.

Those are some really NICE photos!
I have never been to the Governors mansion. Looks beautiful but a pain to keep clean, but I guess when you live like that you can afford housekeepers 🙂

Wow, that looks amazing! I could never get mine to turn out inside the houses so these are great shots. 🙂

I’m with Lolli. I love to visit places like that with all the amazing detail and architecture, but I couldn’t live there. Too much to dust.
These pictures are fabulous!

Beautiful pictures! What a fun opportunity for you :). Thanks for stopping by!
Your collage is very cool, I think you found some good textures. Looks like a pretty cool place with lots of interesting things to see.

Wow! Amazing pictures! I love going through “houses” like those, but I can’t imagine ever living in something like that.
