"Everything that occurs in the temple is uplifting and ennobling. It speaks of life here and life beyond the grave. It speaks of the importance of the individual as a child of God. It speaks of the importance of the family and the eternity of the marriage relationship." - Gordon B. Hinckley The Newport Beach California LDS Temple
Mount Rushmore - what a place! I captured a panorama of these gigantic sculptures last summer. Carved from the solid granite of the Black Hills of South Dakota, it's stunning to see in person. Unfortunately, the sky was pretty flat, so I replaced it with a sunset I shot in Utah. Much better. :)
