A Strange Site In Utah.jpg

A Mormon church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for those that tend to be overly picky or easily offended)is something you see every few blocks in Utah communities. Like most places, in Utah the community is made of many different religions. This is a Krishna Consciousness temple, a pretty building, located on a hilltop south of the little community of Spanish Fork.

I loved how the light was breaking through the storm clouds to light up the temple.

Wow? Looks stunning against the stormy sky and totally out of place in Utah! :)) Fabulous capture.

Fine capture! Very interesting for us outsiders.

I guess I'm an 'outsider' as well. I'm in good old Brigham City and have never seen this temple either. Beautiful shot.

I must be blind. I have to live within 15 minutes of this and have never seen it in the 6 years I've been here. Great pic!

Great shot Bill! I used to live by this Church and saw it every day and I never saw it quite like you did. That's where the real talent is, is in the seeing.

As an interesting aside, the Mormon church donated a very large sum of money to help build this temple through one of it's programs. It's so outside the mainstream "church" you see in Utah and a welcome piece of interesting architecture and you have captured it perfectly.

Thought you'd gone from Yellowstone to India when I saw the thumbnail. ;-)
Very interesting photo and details.

It's a great image by itself, but when realizing where it is, it's all the more unusual.

lovely light, indeed. It does look Middle Eastern and, you're right, it does seem out of place in those hills.

Yes, the lighting really helps this stand out. And the church does seem out of place for Utah.
