Angel Moroni
Angel Moroni on top of the Provo, Utah Mormon Temple. As with most Mormon Temples this statue faces east. This shot was taken looking south west.
Nine LDS temples do not have an angel Moroni. They are the St. George Utah, Logan Utah, Manti Utah, Laie Hawaii, Cardston Alberta, Mesa Arizona, Hamilton New Zealand, London England, and Oakland California Temples.

The Provo Temple was originally built without a statue on the spire this angel was added about 30 years after a the temple's dedication during a general overhaul which included changing the color of the spire supporting the angel from gold to white. A picture of the whole temple from the front can be seen here farm3.static.flickr.com/2377/2146583171_edece87a44_o.jpg
The Jorden River Temple and 5 others have a different version of Moroni. You can see the one where the statue has the Golden Plates from which Joseph Smith, Mormon Church founder translated The Book of Mormon. farm4.static.flickr.com/3276/2521866450_63eb4a3e21_b.jpg
