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.
Today we are traveling away from Utah after nearly a week of snow and cold. We aren’t heading south like these birds should have. We are heading mostly west, back to Oregon. Highs along the way are expected to be in the teens. Hopefully the roads are dry and not icy.
Today’s entry has nothing to do with Japan. It does have a bit to do with travel, though, as I’m currently traveling. Tomorrow we head back to Oregon after nine days in Utah.
Pictured above is the nativity on water. Whenever I’m on Temple Square in Salt Lake City viewing this scene, I always expect to hear some little kid ask their parent if Jesus was born in a lake.
