This is a place for my history, my poetry and my thoughts
There are 12 window murals in the south window of the temple. They are each teaching a lesson about the immigration. I was able to find nine pictures of the 12 on line. The are much prettier in person with the light shining through them. Some almost look like rainbows in the clouds.

I was surprised to discover that the He Ain't heavy sculture has changed. But I guess it has changed several times. Now the young man is carring a young woman, his sister. The newest version was unvailed in 2017 for 100 year anniversary of Boys Town..

Winter Quarters temple has some beautiful stained glass. These pictures are viewing from the outside. They are even nicer from the inside.
If anything the Dowd chapel is a ork of art, with many expressions of art within. The stained glass windows represent Jesus or Mary. There are also statues. The mood in the tomb are set apart by the color of light coming through the stained glass. The organ loft is incredible.
