The Mormon Temple...Building began in 1853, and took 40 years to build and stands 210 feet tall. The walls of the temple are 9 feet (2.7 meters) thick at the base and 6 feet (1.8 meters) thick at the top. Each granite block of the walls weighs between 2,500 and 5,600 pounds (1,134 to 2,540 kilograms) and was hauled by oxen, and later by railroad, from a granite quarry in Little Cottonwood Canyon, some 20 miles (32 kilometers) southeast of Temple Square (as it's known). The Temple is literally built in the heart of the city and all the streets were planned accordingly. To see it in person is just amazing.

I love your picture of the SLC Temple. Awesome work. I am working on a invitation for the Young Women in my stake for a meeting we are having and was wondering if you would mind if I used your picture on the invitation. Let me know in your comments - thank you!

This is one of the most beautiful pictures I've seen of this temple. I'm wondering if I could use it, perhaps, to make a gift for my father for Christmas. He'd love it, I'm sure. If you could comment back, that would be awesome. Thanks so much. (Really, your pictures are amazing.)

Carli - feel free to use the photo for your father. I can also get you the full size image for printing. If you wish to make a donation to my paypal account - romeike@gmail.com it helps!
Glad you enjoy the image. It's always nice to receive compliments on my work.
