I Love to See the Temple

Few buildings provide as much peace to me as LDS temples, whether going in (only for temple recommend carrying members), or just being on the temple grounds and enjoying the peace and quiet.

President Thomas S. Monson, the current prophet, discussed temples in the most recent General Conference. You can read or watch his talk HERE.

As a bonus, they also happen to be excellent subjects for photography.
Just in the past few weeks, I've taken these with my cell phone:

Washington, DC (May 18)

Salt Lake City (June 7)

Salt Lake City (June 13)

I acknowledge a little help from my Instagram app filters, but aren't they cool pics?

If you want to check one out for yourself, you can find a nearby temple by clicking HERE.

And if you take pictures, please share a link to your blog or photo album so I can see, too!
