Recently, I traveled to Lubbock to hang with Julia Woods, a photographer from up North. I was cruising into town headed to check in at my hotel when I passed Lubbock's temple for the Church of the Latter Day Saints. The sunset was stunning behind the temple's statue. I made a u-turn to get some shots.
I left to head for the hotel but in 5 minutes I couldn't stand it. I returned again. Every minute that passes, changes the sky. I had to park and sit while the sun set - capturing shots all the sunset through. A passing church member told me that the statue is of the angel Maroni, who at the end of the world, according to his details, will herald the return of Jesus. The statue always faces east.
