Another beautiful card came all the way from Utah , thanks to Sierra. After her breathtaking card of Monument Valley in the Utah Desert , she sent me the most famous landmark of her city and that is the main LDS ( Mormon ) temple . I'm not very religious person myself but I always have a fascination for religious buildings, no matter which religion/denomination they represent. And this temple looks indeed amazing. It looks very different from "mainstream" Christianity churches . No crosses, no icons , no statues, only an angel with a trumpet on the top. If I remember correctly it's the angel Moroni who according to LDS faith appeared to Joseph Smith Jr and revealed the Golden Plates to him and from these plates J. Smith translated the Book of Mormon into English. As for the interior , not much can be said as it is not open for the public , only LDS members and not even all of them , just the "worthy" ones can enter this building ( and any other LDS temple oround the world )
