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.

all has been said,
can you hear them?
Their voices are free,
free from the sun stare,
free from the noise,
of lost souls…

Normally I do Metal Monday on Monday, but since I’ve had metal posts the past five or so days, I decided to go with a non-metal photo with some metal lyrics. Do you know the song? It’s one of my favorites.
