I originally traveled down to the Salt Lake Temple to take some fall photos. I had a specific image in mind but was unable to find a suitable foreground tree or angle. As I wandered around looking for another angle I saw this shot.

My favorite photographs usually have a bluish hue to them and are either taken at dawn or dusk. There is a brief period of time where nature creates some beautiful blues and purples.

I took this only about three feet from the reflecting pond just to the east of the temple (you can see it in the foreground). By using a wide angle lens I was able to get a lot into the shot, from the reflecting pool to the temple and sky.

The sky is what makes this photo for me. I really like the way the clouds are situated and how they almost surround the temple. The fact that they are reflecting a nice purple color adds to the overall feel for me as well.
