It is an incredibly beautiful building. I spent an hour photographing the temple last evening.  Struck by its beauty, I  returned this morning to take some additional photos.  Here are a number of my photos. I had difficult time choosing among them. As the evening sun set and the morning sun rose, the lighting changed continuously. Each change inspired another photo, as a I tried to capture the soul of this amazing building.
