So its the law courts?. Looks ominous and intimidating enough to be so! A good architecture shot.. I like the symmetry and hope that it reflects the lack of asymmetry in the application of the law! Why it should I don't know because the law itself, in Britain at least, seems to exist to protect those who have property, assets and power from those who don't! But I will still give this shot a Fav because I like it so much!
there is allegory in the architecture of the temple. Obviously curious about what your project is - but perhaps you can not say. The image is a fine one, enhanced by the shiny watery foreground with the reflection. It is imposing.
Incredible. The symmetry in this shot, coupled with the pov, makes an amazingly striking image. The tones are great, b&w is perfect. I gather this is not a religious temple, but (perhaps) the law courts? Very curious about your flagship project.
@yrhenwr No, actually not the courts, but a real temple. I agree on the observation that the scale of Goddess Justice is substantially off, though I have to admit that in Italy it does not always weigh in favor of those who have a property (I could supply you tons of examples about owners having no protection against abusive occupiers, tenants in arrears and the like...) @pistache Thank you very much, Clare! @helenhall Oh, I think I can, it's a gold medal in my CV: I assisted the owner in all legal aspects connected to the construction of this temple: a 10-year project started in 2008 with the request of the building permit and ended in 2018 with the work completion and occupancy, followed by the open house this month. Thanks a lot! @alophoto Interesting structures, aren't they? I think this is one of the most impressive. Thank you! @jenp Too kind of you, Jennifer! @kwind Thank you so much, Kim! @golftragic Thank you so much, Marnie. Indeed, it is a religious temple. I consider it my flagship one not only because it is certainly the longest legal assistance I supplied for a single project, but also because it is the one and only where the client's purpose was not making money, but satisfying a spiritual need. @jgpittenger Thank you very much, Jane! @graemestevens Thanks a lot, yes on black it says something more! @kmwilliams Thank you, Kate! @gardenfolk Thank you very much! @seattlite Thanks a lot, Gloria! @bella_ss Thank you, Sheralee; yes the building is beautiful, to my eye! @shannejw Certainly it is reaching for the sky... thank you very much! @stray_shooter Thanks a lot, Ron! @yaorenliu Thank you very much! @cocobella Thank you so much!
@s4sayer thank you Margo! The figure is a golden leaf statue of Angel Moroni, playing his trumpet to call the believers... happy you got the “sorpresa” ;) @golftragic thanks to you again! @taffy thank you very much, Taffy! It was a once in a lifetime project. Maybe this is why I posted it after the desert photos! @fbailey thank you very much!
Domenico, I've heard you talk about this project but it was fun reading everyone's comments and yours. This is a spectacular image, so well composed, and the lighting conditions were perfect for bringing the atmospheric feel to the scene. The temple makes quite a statement, too. Truly, beautifully captured! A capstone to represent the completion of the project for you and for them!
The temple architect must be a genius, to design this building in today’s world. I can only imagine the mountain of legal documents it took to bring this to completion. I know a fair amount about building permits here and the process is often so frustrating it is hard to keep your eye on the finished project. I’ve often said if you want to learn patience, build a building in Dallas. This is a breathtaking image of this spectacular temple. Congratulations on it’s completion!
@jyokota thank you, Junko! I was lucky to take this picture one of he last days before the end of work, when only a few were admitted on the site. Not very good for driving my motorcycle, but the rain dart that shiny flavor that was a gift, photography-wise
It is the Rome, Italy, temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. https://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/public-tours-begin-rome-italy-temple
I assisted the Church for the entire project from application for the building permit (not modestly, I’ll admit that the permit expressly mentions my name as the author of the legal opinion on which the permit was granted) to the end of work and occupancy (with dealing with contractors and the like in between...)
@pistache Thank you very much, Clare!

@pickerandagrinner Indeed, worth a visit!
@caterina It was a HUGE commitment. Very happy of this once-in-a-lifetime achievement.
This is wonderfully dramatic.
