The lamps on the temple grounds have been lit up at night. |
Both the north and the south lots have lights. |
The south parking lot has these two fancy lamps. |
I can only find this one pair. |
In this case, form and function are competing. |
There is a lot of competition for beauty. |
Any direction I chose, I couldn't lose. |
Night... |
Or day. It all worked. |
I took advantage of the early morning hour to look at the windows again. |
They are still breathtaking. |
Speaking of windows, the pavilion will be surrounded with glass. |
I knew from the construction cam that the pavilion was being primed |
Apparently it's time for windows, too. |
I can't even imagine what this will look like when it's completed. |
No one needs to worry about me going to the site early. I was not alone. And trust me, this guy was making all kinds of noise. |
The track hoe delivered lights to the post office lot. |
This was pretty much my dream come true to watch this chain link fence moved. |
You've probably seen this machine from the construction cam. |
He has already put in a nice curb for the postal employees. |
There is a little more work to do along this wall. |
Bits of clutter and debris have accumulated behind the jersey barrier over the last year. |
Ladders were called in to help with the cleanup. |
A curb will be built along this south wall, and then a new asphalt road. |
While I was on the west side, I saw some action at the southwest tower entrance. |
This new door frame was going in. |
These men placed it next to the jamb we saw last week. |
I wasn't in the best spot to take pictures of the action. |
That didn't stop me from trying. |
This all happened very quickly. |
A door. Can I hope that's next? |
I noticed wood in the east gable opening. |
And caulk. For sure a window is coming. |
Painters primed more fence posts on the north side |
If you look closely, you'll see a man bolting down the bus stop shelter. |
The south entrance has concrete instead of forms. |
Stairs from the southeast tower on the right are confusing me. |
I've never heard of a labyrinth at a temple before. |
I am not opposed to this, though. |
I watched for awhile to see if that would help my understanding. |
Work people were discussing geofoam. |
Apparently they needed more. |
This block looked heavier in real life than it does in the picture. |
The geofoam comes from this huge stash. |
The hoard, new since yesterday, was easy to spot. |
It seemed to be available to anyone who wanted some. |
I'm pretty sure the intent is for us to be able to walk from the beehive gate to the east side. |
Another possibility might be the underground route. |
I spied sandstone on the lower walls. |
There appears to be a beautiful ceiling from the pavilion to the temple entrance. |
This certainly won't be a bad option. |
Our friend Yuki Dorff took this picture on Sunday. She not only had good light, but she has such a great vantage point. |
From my vantage point this morning, I managed to notice the moon. |
Actually, it was hard not to notice. |
It was a little tricky finding flowers in the dark, but I know good places. |
The Provo City Center Temple does not hold a monopoly on being beautiful in the dark. |

These pics are wonderful. I like the night shots.
You call them Jersey barriers like my wife does. She's from the East Coast. I've heard the term "K-rail" more often in the Western US and California. I'm pretty sure they're exactly the same thing though.
On another note, I see lots of new windows were installed today in the pavilion according to the construction cam. Yay!!
I lived in New Jersey for many years where those barriers were omnipresent. I was actually surprised to learn they were called Jersey barriers in other states.
I am embarrassed to confess that I didn't see that window going in the Pavilion until I got home and started going through my pictures. That's a crop from a much larger photo. I'm anxious to get back to the site and see more of these!
