LDS photographer Dustin Bitter has started taking pictures of "the temple in a way like never before with this series of images designed to illustrate the temple from a celestial perspective," Bitter writes on his website.
Bitter has termed the series Kolob, focusing on the eternal nature of the temple and its role in the host of creations and worlds Heavenly Father has created. The theme for the series is Abraham 3:3: "And the Lord said unto me: These are the governing ones; and the name of the great one is Kolob, because it is near unto me, for I am the Lord thy God: I have set this one to govern all those which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest."
