On February 18th I went with my sister to Salt Lake City and we stayed with my Aunt Linda. The next morning Sarah went to work and she dropped me off at Temple Square. It was kinda of strange because I have never had a day trip by myself where I chose the itinerary. I guess its just that I still have yet to learn how to drive on the highway and I don't know if I would like to travel to the airport by myself, I don't particularly like crowds, but if it were something I had to do, I would do it without question. I was early at Temple Square so the visiting centers weren't open yet so I strolled around the square. The day was decidedly overcast so I used the monochrome filter on my camera.

I love the stark contrast of the gray quartz monzonite stones on Salt Lake Temple
most people think the temple is made out of Granite. |

| Here's another favorite of the Salt Lake Temple |
My favorite part of visiting Temple Square is going to the North Visitor Center where they have the giant Christus statue. I particularly love this statue because Christ's arms are down to the side with the palms turned out. This is a more inviting "come unto me" pose.

I love standing at the foot of the Christus statue
because you can look directly into his eyes and
its a good time to reflect upon the truth of the atonement
and I know that the atonement is true and tailored
to each of our needs. |
After a spiritual time in temple square and talking to all eight pairs of sister missionaries there I headed over to the Church History Museum, which I will continue in another post.
