Pictures of LDS Temples

Post by _Ceeboo »

Good morning fellow creations (and all my atheist friends)

On another thread, there was a couple of pictures of the Salt Lake City Temple (Thanks to Everybody Wang Chung for sharing them).

in my opinion, the SLT is a gorgeous structure.

For those who may have other pictures of these Temples, would you be so kind to share them on this thread?

Thanks! :)

Peace,

I don't think the SLC is a gorgeous structure; it is an architectural nightmare, a fantasia of symmetry and stunted imagination. That said, I do like it as a historical artifact and it is certainly miles above recent temple designs (the mini McTemples are beneath aesthetic comment).

The three earlier Utah temples, the St. George, Logan and Manti temples are much more interesting in design:

The "winner" to me, is the Cardston temple, designed by followers of Frank Lloyd Wright's "prairie style:"
