I was out and about last Thursday when the sky had such incredible clouds from the most recent rain storm. I was on the freeway and happened to glance west, where the clouds were exceptionally beautiful over by the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple. I had my camera with me, (unusual), and a little bit of spare time so I took the next exit and headed that way. I drove around the temple several times and was really disappointed because I couldn't find a view I liked. The temple is beautiful, of course, but there was so little greenery, and every view seemed to have big white tents, lots of people, houses, highways with cars, etc. Finally I turned down a side road from the highway in front of the temple in order to turn around, and when I did turn around, this was the view. The tall weeds from this vacant lot, hid the highway in front and the tents and people. I trudged through the weeds and took my picture. There's nothing symbolic about those dark clouds behind the temple (haha), but the sky was so beautiful. For those of you who haven't yet seen this newest temple, I hope you enjoy my picture.

That is a great picture. You inspire me to look for beauty all around me on a daily basis.
That is a beautiful picture Im excited to see the inside
Indeed!
I guess you heard that the angel Moroni got hit with lighting. You got a great shot of the black on the angel. They have to fix that before it is dedicated. I loved the inside and you made the outside look spectacular also.
Funny, it was June 26 when I took one of my favorite images of the OMT, have sold several, and even printed one for us at 16-20, just need to get a frame my wife likes!
