I was certainly drawn to this artwork.
I loved the depictions of this piece.
Before long the water was turned on
and provided for some beautiful pictures.
I loved all the relief work around
the top of the temple. I haven’t been to Cardston, but I know
the same kind of design is around Mesa.
Scenes from the Restoration are displayed
here as well as other significant events important to the islands
of Hawaii.
It’s amazing how the color of light
(or the temperature as we say in photography) changes rapidly
with each passing minute in the morning. Now the temple was looking
quite brilliant and white against the beautiful blue skies.
I love these two phrases on every
temple: The House of the Lord — Holiness to the Lord. They inspire
reverence and awe in me.
I look at this picture and I think
of Isaiah and Micah and the phrase: “Come ye, and let us go up
to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob;
and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.”
[i] Just hearing those words makes me want to be
a better person.
Yes, through all the beautiful architecture
and landscaping, there is an entrance to the temple.
