This cool picture of the Mesa, Arizona Temple was taken by my husband's grandfather, Grant William Magleby. It was taken in the 1920s at some point--My MIL (photographer's daughter) is not exactly sure when. The Mesa temple was not finished until 1927, so likely that year or shortly thereafter (Note: I later learned, according to a local weatherman, the date of this snow was January 21, 1937). She also has a picture of her mother holding a big snowball in front of the temple from the same photo shoot.Go here to download this picture from lds.org as wallpaper for your computer.

Great picture!
ReplyDeleteamazing! beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDoes it snow in Mesa? I guess that's the point, huh? How neat!
ReplyDeleteThe snow doesn't sound so great right now but I am sure if you ask me in September I will be begging for it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool picture! (pun not intended) I have only seen snow on the ground three times in the 25 years we have lived here--and never that much!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! That is a very unique picture. It would be hard to take another one like it. I don't remember ever seeing snow on the ground like that here in the valley.
ReplyDeleteits so funny that I stumbled upon this image today. I was just flipping through a Mesa history book today and they mentioned that the snow stuck around for almost a week and that the local stores nearly ran out of film as I am sure everyone in town wanted to take pictures of "snow in Mesa"
