I usually try to go to the temple site when the construction workers have gone for the night. That way, they don't see a crazy lady trying to take pictures while they're working. And since I haven't been issued an official Temple Chaser security badge or hard hat yet....
I'm trying hard to not interrupt business or create a safety hazard. I'd like to leave the hard work up to those boys. The less interruptions, the sooner they get it done, right? And I'm trying to obey the on site code of conduct.
But the crane has me intrigued and my husband too. It is very impressive...that crane. You can see it for miles away.
He offered to drive me in and down the the entrance a bit so I could stand on top of his truck to take some pictures. That way I could get high enough to see what's going on. How's that for temple chasing? We're having to get creative here.
Because the temple site has been built up on a hill and much of the construction is taking place beneath the surface, it is difficult to get high enough to see what is going on inside. The fence that spans the perimeter, very well built I might add, prevents anyone from getting close enough to see. They are doing such a great job....very secure. It looks like they are mightily working on the earthquake resistant foundation.
Today the gate was open and we were able to get a few shots. It wasn't long before the hard hats started noticing us and we took our leave. I mean, crazy lady standing on a Ford truck is pretty hard to miss. But it's what we Temple Chasers do to stay on top of things....
