I’ll be spending my sabbath in the church of nature somewhere in Iceland. May the churches be empty and the people enjoying themselves.

Big Ben (London, England)

Inauguration day was May 31, 1859. A year after this photo was taken (in 2016) Big Ben underwent a renovation and has been silent since. The renovation is scheduled to be completed in about 2021.

I won’t arrive in Copenhagen until June 19 as I’m going to spend a few nights in a sleeper van in Iceland on my way in.

Today’s photo, from Copenhagen, is of my neighborhood last summer in Nyboder. Keeping with tradition, and my need for continuous adventure, I’m staying in a neighborhood I have never lived in before (bringing the total up to six). In 2019 I will be west of Copenhagen Business School for the first time. It won’t top Nyboder, what could?, but I will be close to my job, and I won’t have to spend a fortune on housing.

This is St. Paul’s Church (Sankt Pauls Kirke), AKA Nyboder’s Church. I spent many an evening strolling around, or just sitting on a bench admiring, it and the neighborhood, occasionally meeting and chatting with my Danish neighbors.

The Salt Lake Temple will close December 29, 2019 and will remain closed for about four years while undergoing a major structural and seismic renovation. I don’t know what things will be like on Temple Square during the next four years, but I’m guessing lots of equipment, scaffolding, closed walkways, etc. will make shots like today’s impossible soon. The grounds should be very different come 2024, but I’m not sure how different the exterior of the temple will be.
