Pendant Light Shines in the Front Portico of the Cody Wyoming Temple

On the grounds of the Cody Wyoming Temple, black lamp posts have been installed next to the walkways that lead to the front entrance of the building. The cheek walls on either side of the front staircase have been faced with cladding to match the temple exterior, and a pendant light has been installed inside the front portico, which is always kept on. The temple beautifully harmonizes with the surrounding mountain scenery.

Fort Worth Texas Temple Under New Year Skies

The freshly clad exterior walls of the Fort Worth Texas Temple stand out beautifully against the clear blue skies of a new year. The light-gray stonework is complemented by gold accents, most notably the domed cupola, shingled roofs, and front entrance doors. Landscaping of the grounds is progressing, and craftsmen continue their work of finishing the interior. The temple has been under construction for over 26 months.

Cupola Installed on the Freetown Sierra Leone Temple

Scaffolding has been removed from the central tower of the Freetown Sierra Leone Temple, which has been clad with a light-beige exterior stone and topped with a faceted dome cupola that stretches heavenward, terminating with a needle finial. Palm trees are being established along the front approach as major features of the landscaping. The gentle peaks of the surrounding mountains play backdrop to this beautiful house of the Lord.
