Walk Uprightly
Utah, Oquirrh Mountain LDS Temple
Oquirrh Mountain was the 130th operating temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This LDS Temple was dedicated in 2009. For more information about the history of this Temple, click this link. (http://www.ldschurchtemples.com/oquirrhmountain/)
You can see the first golden rays of the evening sun as they begin to fall on the north west side of the temple. Theis angle shows the depth of the building and gives a feeling of the strength with which these buildings are created. The cascading block design that builds on itself in layers as it rises up into the dramatic cloudy skies of the western landscape help to turn our minds heavenward.

I always love the feeling of publishing a new image to my gallery. I captured this image in the summer of 2011. I’ve just now been doing some file organization and noticed the potential in this image. Being inspired a little by the LDS Youth theme for 2012 “Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations” (Doctrine and Covenants 115:5). The Oquirrh Mountain Temple really rises out of it’s surroundings and seems very tall and stalwart. The way the sun is shining so brightly in this image portrays how brightly we can shine when we rise up and be the people God knows we can be.
This particular day was great for shooting largely due to the great clouds soaring overhead. These clouds were moving very quickly. Shooting HDR sets was a challenge even on high speed mode because of so much movement in the sky. This image started in Lightroom 4, where it was tone mapped in Nik HDR FX Pro 2 and then into Photoshop for some dodging and burning.
