Provo Utah Temple, 1972

I made up a model of the Provo Temple as it would have looked at the time of dedication. I considered doing all kinds of stuff with the surrounding terrain, but essentially ran out of time. The area where the temple is now located was a fair bit less populated than it is now. Also, probably should not be so many trees. But it is done for now, and with the recent closing of the temple for renovation, I thought I would go ahead and share the video now.

St. George Utah Temple (1938-1958)

I have been very, very, busy with work. Oh, so very busy. But, today I discovered that I had already rendered out a historic video (and possibly some others) that I had not posted the video for.

This video represents the St. George Utah Temple after the 1938 renovation. This was a whole new annex, and appears to have kept nothing of the original. It was more modern, more aesthetically pleasing, and less utilitarian than the previous annex versions.

Along with this annex video being posted, I have made some discoveries about the previous videos that I need to correct. I have pinned down a date for the creation of the original first annex. I discovered that the Annex was not burned down completely by the 1927 fire, but was renovated starting immediately.

I am going to spend some free time today to update all the previous posts, identifying which ones are incorrect, and fixing the temple wiki.

Bountiful Utah, Lindon Utah, and Orem Utah Photography now available.

I have uploaded some more photography for free use. One of these temples (Lindon) I first visited just today. Another one, Orem, was my second visit, but for now, I have misplaced my first set, so I will upload that later. BUT, it was photos of the early grading of the site, so nothing worth stressing over.

St. George Temple photo catalog (and others) available

Through yesterday and today, I again had more freetime than anticipated, though ehat is essentially over for the week. I was able to get St. George Utah Temples photo catalog up and available.

I was also to upload photo catalogs for a few other Utah temples. Don’t get too excited though. These are all temples I have visited only once so far, and for half of them, not long enough for more than a couple of photos of the kids (not included) and a snapshot or two.

The Logan Temple photography Catalog is online

Well, it feels a bit rushed, but I have work to get done tomorrow, so all personal projects, including this one, will have to be put on hold for a while. So I pushed hard and got this one done while I could.

As with the previous Temple photography, this temple is available for free, non-commercial use, as per the license posted here.
