salt lake city

i'm sitting in a hotel in montpelier, idaho right now, getting ready to leave for a day in yellowstone. we had a nice, relaxing day in salt lake city yesterday. we slept in, drove about two hours to get to the city, did a quick walk around temple square, and then went to the coolest art gallery i've ever, ever seen. 337 is a house in salt lake that is covered, inside and out, with amazing urban artwork. most of it is done with aerosol paint ("graffiti" style, but it's not actually graffiti because it's more than just scrawling on walls). the whole project is absolutely mind-blowing in its size, style and color. the most fascinating part of this is that the building is slated to be destroyed on saturday! apparently it is going to become a business and condos, or something like that. it's a tragedy. anyways, here are some photos from this amazing place:
