This photo is of the Nauvoo temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon), which is located in Nauvoo, Illinois. Joseph Smith saw a vision of this temple in the 1840s. At the time, he told the architect for the building, "I have seen in vision the splendid appearance of that building illuminated, and will have it built according to the pattern shown me." To learn about the LDS church, go to Mormon.org.

I took this photo this last Sunday in a DOWNPOUR rain storm. The rain drops don't show in this photo because I used a long exposure. I didn't have a rain sleeve for my camera, so I put a store plastic bag over the camera, ran out of my car with the camera settings already chosen, and snapped two frames very quickly before the front of the lens became completely soaked.
