 San Diego California Temple
Interesting Facts:
Few temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints make a more dramatic impression than the San Diego California Temple. The gleaming white temple attracts the attention of thousands of passersby every day. The sparkling finish of the building’s exterior is provided by marble chips in plaster. The temple also features roof gardens and intricate stained glass. The temple is located only a few miles from where members of the Mormon Battalion helped to build what is now San Diego’s Old Town after they arrived there in 1847. The Church has had a presence in the San Diego area ever since that day. Today there are more than 60,000 members of the Church in San Diego County.

Dramatic shot. I wonder if the shot from a little to the right, with the two towers in symetry would have looked more impressive?

Nice shot of an exquisitely eye-catching building. THIS is the reason Canon builds their tilt and shift lenses... excellent image!

I think this is the best temple shot, of course it's hard to get a bad or non-interesting photo of this one :)
