The Patriarchs are three neighboring sandstone peaks on the west side of Zion Canyon. Each is named after biblical fathers. From left to right (south to north) they are Abraham Peak, Isaac Peak, and Jacob Peak. Abraham Peak is the tallest at 6,890 feet. The white top of Jacob Peak rises behind the orange rock of Mount Moroni. The Patriarchs were named by Frederick Vining Fisher, a Methodist minister who ventured into Zion in 1916, labeling numerous prominent points in Zion Canyon. He decided to name these three peaks after Old Testament daddies, and the titles stuck.

Winter in red rock country brings out the entire color wheel. Early in the morning, before the sun bleaches out the colors in the canyon and brightens the sky, the blues and greens really balance out the bright rocks that pick up the smallest amount of daylight and turn it into fire. It's truly a majestic site, and the key reason there are so many public lands set aside across the Colorado Plateau for future generations to be able to enjoy the splendor.
Congrats on Explore!

The temple was the first place to be struck by the light anywhere in the city of Draper, as far as I could tell.
Rio Grande train No. 752 rolls through a rural landscape at Kirby, Utah (near Spanish Fork) on Aug. 26, 1986. In April 1983, Moroni Feed was cut off from Rio Grande's rail network when Thistle and the Marysvale Branch were flooded and destroyed. Rio Grande created a rail-to-truck transfer along the Tintic Branch in Spanish Fork to continue service to Moroni Feed and the Norbest turkey plant.

Mount Moroni is located immediately southwest of Zion Lodge, towering 1,400-feet (425 meters) above the lodge and the floor of Zion Canyon. It is set alongside the North Fork of the Virgin River which drains precipitation runoff from this mountain.
It is named for Angel Moroni, who presented Joseph Smith with the golden plates from which he translated and published the Book of Mormon. (Wikipedia)

The Old Friday mosque is the oldest mosque of Moroni. It is also called the Badjanani Mosque.
I find that the mosque was constructed in 1427/831 AH and the minaret added in 921/1339 AH. (source: www.archnet.org/sites/15056)
(hmmmm..... I have my doubts about that. )

El Ayuntamiento , ahora llamado Palacio Moroni , es un imponente complejo de edificios formado por edificios "palazzi" de varias épocas conectados entre sí, donde se encuentra la administración municipal de la ciudad de Padua desde el siglo XIII .
This is the San Diego LDS Temple on a cloudy evening at sunset. The lighting and background give it an otherworldly feel. If you ever drive down the 5 Freeway in San Diego, you can't help but notice this striking building. This angle gives a different perspective than usually seen.

I've been meaning to get this book for a while. The only film I've seen Eric Roberts in was in Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' playing Salvatore "Sal" Moroni. A small role but I never forgot his character.
When I saw this book for the first time, it was the book cover's portrait of him that got my attention (photographed by Walter Chin) and looking at that face, I wanted to know about this man's life.
Curious if anyone is familiar with his filmography cause he's been in "quite a few" films (he's appeared in over 700 films...)
Rapida visita fotografica di Sant'Eraclio, frazione di Foligno, ma paesino dalla lunga storia risalente all'epoca romana. "Il territorio degli Umbri cadde sotto la dominazione romana nel 295 a.C. nello stesso secolo e precisamente nel 220 dal censore Gaio Flaminio fu voluta la costruzione della strada Flaminia che partendo da Roma e attraversando l’Umbria giungeva a Fano nelle Marche e passava proprio qui.
Secondo lo storico Moroni (vissuto nel 1800) ritiene che durante il periodo dell’impero romano, dov’è S.Eraclio oggi, ci fosse un acquartieramento di legionari e quindi una Statio Fulginas (cambio dei cavalli e abbeverata) e questo non solo perché il paese era sulla via Flaminia, ma anche per la presenza di una ricca sorgente di acqua ubicata in via Fontanelle e via Fontevecchia.
L’ipotesi trova fondamento in merito ad una leggenda che vuole una esecuzione di tre legionari ivi acquartierati che non rinnegarono la loro fede durante le persecuzioni dei cristiani sotto l’imperatore Decio nel 251 d.c ed essi erano Eraclio, Giusto e Mauro." Anche a Sant'Eraclio troviamo un castello che offre interessanti spunti fotografici. 9 foto.
Quick photographic visit of Sant'Eraclio, a hamlet of Foligno, but a village with a long history dating back to Roman times. "The Umbrian territory fell under Roman domination in 295 BC in the same century and precisely in 220 by the censor Gaius Flaminio the construction of the Flaminia road was commissioned, starting from Rome and crossing Umbria, it reached Fano in the Marche and passed right here.
According to the historian Moroni (who lived in 1800) he believes that during the period of the Roman Empire, where St. Eraclius is today, there was a quartering of legionaries and therefore a Statio Fulginas (changing of horses and watering) and this not only because the town was on the via Flaminia, but also due to the presence of a rich source of water located in via Fontanelle and via Fontevecchia.
The hypothesis is based on a legend that wants an execution of three legionaries quartered there who did not deny their faith during the persecutions of Christians under the emperor Decius in 251 AD and they were Eraclio, Giusto and Mauro. "Also in Sant'Eraclio we find a castle that offers interesting photographic opportunities. 9 photos.

The "Hunter Moon" rises up behind the Angel Moroni statue on top of the Mormon Temple in San Diego.
I have been trying to get this shot for a while, I've gotten close before but never got it completely centered until this night. I was not even sure I would get the shot. When I arrived at the spot I was scouting I saw nothing but clouds in the direction I was going to shoot. I thought maybe at best I would get a vague shape of a moon behind the clouds but not as clear of a picture as I ended up with. It just goes to show you, you have to keep trying, eventually you will get the shot your looking for.
Palazzo Moroni - Ex Palazzo del Podestà.
Il palazzo è stato ristrutturato completamente nel XVI secolo dall'architetto Andrea Moroni, dal quale ora prende il nome, e rappresenta uno degli esempi stilistici più ragguardevoli presenti nel Veneto.
In epoca comunale, quando fu introdotta la figura del Podestà, questo ruolo aveva termini e regole ben precise.
A differenza del Consiglio degli Anziani, i cui membri erano eletti e facevano parte della comunità, il Podestà doveva obbligatoriamente essere un forestiero.
In cambio dell'alloggio per sé e la famiglia e di un discreto compenso (circa 80 volte quello di un operaio generico), doveva stipendiare e pagare tutte le spese per un gruppo di 35 collaboratori, tra cui quattro giudici del tribunale criminale e tre militi, tutti pure forestieri, che si trasferivano in città con le famiglie per il periodo del mandato.
Nessuno, nemmeno i familiari, potevano in alcun modo ricevere regali, donazioni, avere credito o acquistare proprietà e terreni da nessun padovano, nemmeno accettare un invito a pranzo.
Esattamente come succede oggi!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Palazzo Moroni - Former Palazzo del Podestà.
The palace was completely renovated in the 16th century by the architect Andrea Moroni, after whom it is now named, and represents one of the most notable examples of style in the Veneto region.
During the communal era, when the position of Podestà was introduced, this role had very specific terms and rules.
Unlike the Council of Elders, whose members were elected and part of the community, the Podestà was required to be a foreigner.
In exchange for lodging for himself and his family and a reasonable salary (about 80 times that of a general laborer), he had to pay the salaries and expenses of a group of 35 collaborators, including four criminal court judges and three soldiers, all also foreigners, who moved to the city with their families for the duration of their mandate.
No one, not even family members, could in any way receive gifts, donations, obtain credit, or purchase property or land from any Paduan, not even accept an invitation to lunch.
Exactly like it happens today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of 4 lion brothers dubbed the "Four Musketeers".of which we luckily saw three Moroni and Sikio & Scarface {Hunter is missing}
