They were so kind to sit perfectly still in perfect symmetry while I took the photo. Thanks, anonymous temple-sitters! The Phoenix Arizona LDS Temple at dusk.
For almost 75 years, the temple in Mesa was the only one in Arizona. Now there are 5 and another under construction in the state. Dedicated in 1927, this unique temple is a sacred place to so many who see it as "their" temple. I felt a uniquely strong spirit and sense of history while photographing this significant place.
"...they [are] before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them." — Revelation 7:13-17 The Mesa Arizona LDS Temple, late on a hot summer night.
