The title for this piece comes from a lyric of the classic gospel hymn "The Unclouded Day," written by Rev. J. K. Alwood in the late 1800s. The song is about heaven (a land of unclouded sky) where there will be no troubles or sorrows - unlike where we live now.
The building you see in this photograph was once the home of Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church in rural Mount Vernon, IL. Above it, is a cloudy sky covering the sun. This is another photograph from the "Temple" series.
