The Jewish god, I think. Which is the same as the Christian god-Father, Mormon's god, Jehovah, etc., right? I'm not quite well versed in theology though. Thanks for the comment!

Vertical wise that's all what I have, I cropped it to be square. I've got some other shots from Zion, I hope I'll find time to post them here.
