Salt Lake Tabernacle

I like to visit temples.

I always feel a little out of place in them, but I like them.

A personal favorite is the Baha'i temple in Chicago.

Montmartre was a beauty.

For some reason I always end up visiting them at night.

They are usually well lit up, and that's how I remember them - shining in the dark.

Radiantly beautiful.

Try to see one of the free concerts there, amazing acoustics.

There is a temple in Athens Greece, at the top of a mount worth your effort an old blind man at the door will confound you. And another in Burgos Spain that is really quite astounding. Chimayo is lovely as well, buy the sundried chile in the gift shop. Vedanta temple in Montecito is truely serene.The chapel at Sea Ranch in Norhtern California is a samll but worthy artistic brilliance. But if you can get to israel the Bahai temple is uncommonly unique and worth the effort.

The lights are on all night, but the Temple shuts down late evening like most other places.

Also - you should know that no gay people are allowed inside the temple. none. Period. Gay people can't get married in the temple.....

Actually, mormon's can't get hitched inside a temple anymore.

For a married couple to get sealed - they have to present a marriage certificate (not a license, but an actual civil ceremony has been performed) so that they can go into the temple.

This is to prevent fudge packers suing the LDS church to get married in a temple.

Temples no longer perform civil marriage, only sealing rites of the church, to which gay people are not allowed because they are deviant unholy perverts.
