Entrance, Salt Lake Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah, 2006

The Salt Lake Temple is the largest and best-known temple of the Mormon faith. It is considered sacred, and can only be entered by members. Dedicated in 1893, it is the centerpiece of the10 acre Temple Square in the middle of downtown Salt Lake City. I made several images of this church, including this photograph of one of its entrances just after dawn. Its massively simple stone portal is splashed with gold and nobody has yet come to rest on the lone bench placed next to it in the shadows.

I did wait a good while, Christine. But nobody came to sit. I think the lonely bench makes an even stronger statement.

Knowing you Phil, you probably waited quite a while for that person to come to sit there.

Beautiful contrast light-shadow.
