I drove up to Logan today for work. On the way up, I noticed the temple in Brigham City.
Not bad.
So in this pic they've already cut down the trees that stand in front that are over a century old.
Why are Mormon temples so ugly?

The Provo and Ogden temples were both built and dedicated in the early 70's and reflect (or did reflect, in the case of Ogden) the horrific architectural trends of that and the preceding decade.
For the most part, I like the various buildings. To my taste, San Diego and Bountiful look too much like fairy castles.

Washington DC
I grew up in the DC area. I remember one year when I was in high school (1987ish) the Washington Post ran a special edition called something like "The Best of the Beltway". Like "Best pizza place along the beltway: Joe's pizza in Arlington VA"(*), and that type of thing. What I remember is they had these two items back-to-back:
Best View from the Beltway: The Mormon temple in Kensington, MD.
Worst View from the Beltway: Everything else.
Made me smile.
(*) I just made that up. There is probably not a Joe's pizza in Arlington VA.
The Mormon temple is not in downtown, either. It's Central Park West.
That's hilarious. Repped.

I always thought this temple was the most beautiful of all of them.

I live in STG where you see those hideous 'stake' type churches around every bend. I wouldn't mind them as much if they didn't lay downs thousands of square feet of barren grass as to waste a bunch of water on in a desert climate.

They did change the landscaping on the 700 south chapel to be more dessert-scape!
