Temples - The House Of The Lord
Albuquerque New Mexico Temple
I chose to share this Temple with you today as the architecture was fascinating in the sense of spiral placement on the rear of the Temple and the main entrance has step down columns that have engravings on them of the sun, the moon and the stars.
The Sun, being the brightest is placed in the middle, and the moon the next down in brightness are placed on either side of the sun, and lastly the stars being the least in brightness next to the moons on either side respectively.
The Temple was announced by The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints on April 04, 1997, the groundbreaking ceremony was held June 20, 1998 and the Temple after construction was left open to the public for viewing during the open house that stretched from 17 - 26 February 2000. The Temple was dedicated on March 05, 2000.

Very impressive!
A bit confuse. Some look like different temple but i think it's just front and back and different angles and it's too late on Monday night checking out #beautifulsunday. Thanks for sharing t
LDS temples are always beautiful. I've been all over the USA and they are always very impressive architecturally - at least from the outside (I've never been inside of one). Also, I should say that my interactions with members of this church have always been very positive. Very nice, hardworking people. By the way, the Mormon Battalion Historic Site in old town San Diego is awesome. Very moving and worth a look if you are visiting SD and interested in history.
Great comment, I am really glad you have had a positive experience interacting with LDS. I only focus on the architecture mostly when doing these blogs, but they are exceptionally beautiful inside. Maybe one day you will get to see what the inside is like.
