While most travel with Governor Leavitt was by Chevy Tahoe (black of course) there were a couple times where he traveled by helicopter to some of the farther distant events. One particular trip we flew by the downtown area and I was fortunate enough to have a relatively decent angle out of the side window to capture some aerial images of Salt Lake.

In the following image the LDS Church Office Building is located to the left and in the center are the LDS Temple and Tabernacle (dome), which is commonly referred to as Temple Square. Also, Rice Eccles stadium is located on the top, just right of center.

In this image of the Utah Capitol Building, the giant lighted flag shown earlier is located in the lower right hand corner.

In honor of Ohno’s soul patch, Governor Leavitt and his Chief of Staff Rich McKeown are sporting their own.

Following the race, Kim Dong-Sung, who thought he’d won gold, hears over the PA system that he’s been disqualified and in disappointment/disgust he throws his country’s flag to the ground and hangs his head low. This image will appear in another post about a Deseret News photo competition in which I submitted several photos.

At this point, Ohno learns he’s been awarded the gold medal and begins to celebrate, eventually making his way to center ice.
