A 5.7 magnitude quake shook Temple Square in Salt Lake City back in March 2020, leaving Angel Moroni without his trumpet.
That day, under those flocked trees and buildings, everything seemed pure and beautiful. The nativity scenes throughout the area seemed to take on a fresh significance somehow. Every flake of snow found its place as if it was orchestrated to be that way.

The Gothic style Salt Lake Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) located on Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. At 253,015 square feet (23,505.9 m2), it is the largest LDS temple by floor area. The temple was dedicated in 1893 and it is the sixth temple completed by the church, requiring 40 years to complete, and the fourth temple built since the Mormon exodus from Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1846.
I have been wanting to get a shot like this for quite some time now with some good color in some clouds and some good light on the mountain peaks at the same time. The problem I most often face is that there are only two day per week that this place is not packed with cars in the parking lots and a lot of people walking around the grounds. Anyway, last Monday after work I was watching the sky pretty close to see if the sunset was going to be as good as the last 3-4 nights had been but there were no clouds to the west at all. The only clouds in the sky were to the Northeast above the mountains. So I thought this might be my chance to get the shot I have wanted of the temple. I headed directly there from work and found that I had left both of my tripods in my truck after driving it all weekend and I was back in my car doing the daily commute to and from work. Luckily there's a set of benches straight back from the temple in an almost perfect spot for the shot I wanted. So using the bench to set my camera on I composed my shot and went to let go of the camera and it was way to front heavy, so now the light I wanted is coming and I know I can't get a good shot holding on to my camera I start emptying my pockets to try and find the right combination of things to hold my lens up. I finally resorted to using my eye drop bottle i keep to keep my contacts moist during the day but the only way it would work was standing on end with the very small pointed end up against the camera lens. Needless to say it was not too steady. Anyway after working this image over in Photomatix for the HDR processing, CS5 to remove a car and another photographer shooting a little kid by the fence and LR5 for the final touches this is what I ended up with. I'm still not sure this is the final product I was hoping for. Luckily I only live 6 blocks away and digital pictures are cheap.

Salt Lake Temple is the last thing we visited, before we flew back to Seattle the next day morning. This building has all the pomp and glory built into it, quite an amazing place.
The Salt Lake Temple is the largest and best-known of more than 130 temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is the sixth temple completed by the church, requiring 40 years to complete, and the fourth operating temple built since the Mormon exodus from Nauvoo, Illinois.
The Salt Lake Temple is the centerpiece of the 10-acre (4.0 ha) Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. Like other LDS temples it is considered sacred by the church and its members and a temple recommend is required to enter, so there are no public tours. The church permitted Life to publish the first public photographs of the building's interior in 1938.
Due to its location at LDS Church headquarters and its historical significance, it is patronized by Latter-day Saints from many parts of the world. The temple also includes some elements thought to evoke Solomon's Temple at Jerusalem. It is oriented towards Jerusalem and the large basin used as a baptismal font is mounted on the backs of twelve oxen as was the brazen sea in Solomon's Temple (see Chronicles 4:2-4).
The location for the temple was first marked by Mormon prophet Brigham Young, the second president of the church, on July 28, 1847, just four days after arriving in the Salt Lake Valley. The temple site was dedicated on February 14, 1853. Groundbreaking ceremonies were presided over by Brigham Young, who laid the cornerstone on April 6 of that year. The architect was Truman O. Angell, and the temple is said to feature both Gothic and Romanesque elements.
The Temple is located in downtown Salt Lake City, with several mountain peaks close by. Nearby, a shallow stream, City Creek, splits and flows both to the west and to the south, flowing into the Jordan River. The golden Angel Moroni placed on the capstone of the temple symbolizes the angel mentioned in Revelation 14:6 that will come to welcome in the Second Coming of Christ.

While traveling on the Capital Beltway, I was always fascinated by this imposing and beautiful structure which could be seen from a long way and always wanted to explore and learn more about this. Then on December 25, I decided to check it out.
The Washington D.C. Temple (formerly the Washington Temple) is the 18th constructed and 16th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
Built at a cost of about $15 million, the temple is the tallest in the United States; its easternmost spire is 288 feet (88 m) tall. Its floor area of 160,000 square feet (15,000 m2) is the third-largest among LDS temples. Its design emulates the Salt Lake Temple with six spires, three on each end, and the building is encased in white Alabama marble. The angel Moroni statue, which sits atop the tallest tower, is 18 feet (5.5 m) tall and weighs 2 tons.
The temple annually hosts the Festival of Lights at the visitors' center, officially running from December 2 to January 1, attracting thousands of visitors from the Washington Metropolitan Area who come to view millions of lights on the temple grounds.

This is a HDR image taken of a pool of water in the parking lot of the Jordan River LDS Temple which shows the temple spire top. This is my first attempt at doing a photograph using only a reflection image.
Hope everyone likes it.

It's very rare that I actually post photos from where I live. Houston is just not very scenic. This temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; however, is a gorgeous building nestled in northeast Houston. I would like to shoot this at night as well as it is lit up nicely.

Beautiful, clear night. Ursa Major, the Big Dipper, can be seen on the left, just above and to the right of the large oak tree. 2nd place photograph in the 2015 Yuba-Sutter County Fair, Building category. I can't complain since it was beaten out for 1st place by an excellent photo that also won "Best in Show" at the fair.
Tonight I tried a long lens and then a wide angle to capture the lightning bolts as they came nearer and nearer. This is my 12 to 14 mm Nikon lens with a wee bit of cropping. I did not have a lightning trigger. I set the camera to a long exposure (around 20 seconds I think--I don't see exif data here or if it is here it is in French for some reason). The camera caught these three consecutive strikes. Not much processing except cropping and a send through Viveza as I often do. Hey, did anyone else notice their flickr speaks only French these days.

Today I am thrilled to announce my next major LEGO-illustrated project that I'll be working on over the next couple of years. Ever since The Brick Bible first delighted audiences and made them look anew at the content of the Old Testament and New Testament, fans have been asking if I’ll ever illustrate any of the world’s *other* holy books and scriptures. Finally, an answer to that question has arrived: yup.
I invite you all to “like” The Brick Book of Mormon on Facebook (www.facebook.com/thebrickbookofmormon) to receive progress updates as this project moves forward. I have also launched thebrickbookofmormon.com as the official website. I would appreciate it if you’d share this post with any and all of your friends who you think would be interested in my project to illustrate in LEGO the teachings and history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The goal of the project is to make these teachings better known to the world. It is designed to capture the interest of non-Mormons curious to know what the LDS Church teaches, as well as believing Mormons looking for a fun new way to learn and share the history and teachings of their church. This project is currently in the RESEARCH PHASE in which I have been spending many months immersing myself in the scriptures and teaching manuals of the LDS Church and taking hundreds and hundreds of pages of notes. In the next phase, all these notes will be worked into a manuscript. From there the illustration phase will begin. It is not yet determined whether The Brick Book of Mormon will first be published as a book (like The Brick Chronicle series) or whether it will publish first to the web and then go to print (like The Brick Bible).
I look forward to providing regular updates on Facebook as this project comes together. It’s been totally fascinating and fun to work on these past many months. In the coming days I’ll have lots more to share about the (fairly epic) scope of the project and planned structure of The Brick Book of Mormon: The Illustrated History and Teachings of the LDS Church.
This is the effect one gets by using a polarizing filter to take a photo through tinted glass. It happened by accident but I thought the effect was kind of interesting.

This is one of the newest LDS Temples. It is in a small, but pretty little town about 35 miles north of where I live. I was very fortunate to have some beautiful clouds and skies when I was there the other day.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS Church), also called Mormons, has just under 150 temples around the world with several others under construction.
During the height of the wildfire season in early August the smoke made for some amazing sunsets. This is from one of those nights at the Provo, Utah LDS Temple.

Made a quick trip up to Brigham City tonight while my son was at his soccer training. I had about 30 minutes to shoot and that was about all I could take of the wind and cold.
