A Most Special Day in Manti

This was Brett 'n Lynda's sealing day, April 11th, in the Manti temple!
Grandpa and I were very late in coming back out of the temple, and all of the 'people' pictures had been taken. Zac was the designated photographer for accomplishing this, but others had their shutters popping also. So, since it was such a serene and lovely place, and since such an amazing event had just taken place, and since Grandpa and I were 'staying over', we returned much later to walk around the temple grounds. It was very stormy!


I kept the same settings as the storm blew around us on purpose: so to see the changes the wind and rain brought to the atmosphere, rather than adjust my camera to the changes. The blue hues were just part of the effects of the changing conditions.

It is amazing to know that all of these shots were taken on the same day! We never saw the snow that people said had fallen in the morning hours (after we arrived in Manti), but when we left, we ran into a lot of rain. Your pictures here show just about every type of weather possible, and it is so fun to see the reflection of that through "temple eyes." Doesn't it make you wish that this temple really could tell us ALL that it has seen?

The last picture is the most beautiful picture I have ever seen of the Manti Temple - I wish we had had it for that stationary we made a few days earlier!! Absolutely exquisite.
