Grand America Hotel - Salt Lake City

The Grand America Hotel is SLC's only five star hotel. Wife and I went there today for lunch and to look at the Christmas decorations. They have a series of panels with windows that they decorate for the holidays. Thought I would post a few photos of the panels and the hotel interior.

The hotel was very busy with out of town skiers and the restaurant had a long waiting list...so we went across the street and ate at it's sister hotel, The Little America Hotel.

Taken with a new Sigma 17-50 f2.8

Great shots, but your Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 was not listed at the bottom of all the photos?

Why would it be? Oh I see, I'll add it to my equipment list.

Hi Frodo - Yes I am really enjoying my Christmas toy! This was actually my first outing with the lens to see how it would perform indoors with variable lighting. I think it will be a keeper...sharp, good color rendition, fast auto focus all at a very affordable price.
