Stage Right: The Velour 5th Anniversary Show

Friday night the Velour Live Music Gallery celebrated its 5th anniversary with a show that featured Jennifer Blosil, The Neighbors, The Vibrant Sound, and The Imagine Dragons. The venue was so crowded that I pretty much got stuck in the same position stage right for the whole evening, but I was still able to get some decent shots out of the effort:

Just before New Year's I took a spin up past Brigham City to take pictures of this abandoned mill off I-15. It has become tradition over the years to use it as a makeshift billboard welcoming home local returned LDS missionaries.

It was a little tricky getting the shots; it's not what I would call an "accessible" area, between the barbed wire and the frozen marshes...and the freeway, of course. But I think the subject matter made it worth it. Plus it gave me an excuse to get a burger at Maddox on the way home.

On another night I drove up to the Bountiful Temple to see what I could find up there. Just like in Salt Lake, fatigue and frigid temperatures started to impact the results:
