October 9, 2007 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Temple Square, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah Temple Square is framed by North Temple, South Temple, East Temple, and West Temple in downtown Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah.   Great Salt Lake Vi satte næsen mod Salt Lake City tidligt i morges, og kom på vejen forbi Great Salt Lake. I Salt Lake City besøgte vi Temple Square, et stort område lige i midtbyen, som er ejet af mormonkirken. We headed for Salt Lake City early this morning, and on the way we drove along the Great Salt Lake. In Salt Lake City we visited Temple Square, a large area in downtown, owned by the mormon church.     Østporten til Temple Square ~ The East Gate to Temple Square     Salt Lake Temple Mormonerne begyndte at bygge templet i 1853, og det var først færdigt i 1893. Som alle mormonske templer, er der ingen offentlig adgang indeni. The Mormons began construction on the temple in 1853, and it wasn't finished till 1893. Like all Mormon temples it is not publicly accessible inside.

Mågemonumentet ~ The Sea Gull Monument Mågemonumentet står til minde om foråret 1848, da mormonernes afgrøder var truet af græshopper. Høsten blev mirakuløst reddet, da tusindvis af havmåger kom flyvende og spiste græshopperne. The Sea Gull Monument commemorates the spring of 1848, when the Mormons' crops were threatened by crickets. Their harvest was miraculously saved, when thousands of sea gulls flew in and ate the crickets.     Forsamlingshuset ~ The Assembly Hall Forsamlingshuset, som er bygget i 1882, er efter min egen personlige mening den flotteste bygning her. The Assembly Hall, which was built in 1882, is in my personal opinion the nicest building here.     Mormon Tabernaclet ~ The Mormon Tabernacle
