The Paris Tabernacle is a striking Romanesque-style Mormon tabernacle built in 1889 from deep red sandstone, and its warm, textured facade makes it one of the most photogenic historic buildings in rural Idaho. The rich color of the stone photographs beautifully in the golden hour light of late afternoon, when the low sun rakes across the surface and brings out the depth of the masonry details. Try a wide angle lens from across the street to capture the full symmetry of the facade, or move in close to isolate the arched windows and carved stonework for detail shots. Early morning works well too, with soft diffused light and minimal traffic on Main Street. The building sits on a quiet small-town street with open space in front, giving you clean sightlines without much clutter to work around. (Paris, Idaho, United States)
