Today we went to a Christmas concert at the Abravanel Concert Hall by the Utah Symphony, a first for Mina. Mina put on her concert outfit (!) and look the part of a lady going to a special event.

A New Vantage Point
Seeing is the essence of photography, and I saw some new places and saw again familiar places from a totally new vantage point, aerial perspective.
