A Short Visit To The Baha'i Temple

So, seven years ago, I still remember when I was in Illinois, visiting my cousins, and they took me and my husband for a quick visit to Baha'i Temple in Wilmette. It was just a "spur of the moment" decision after an early dinner with my cousins to do our walks since the restaurant was a walking distance to the place.

I don't know a lot about this building except that it is considered a house of worship, so I heard. We visited the area around 7PM so we were not able to take a good look of the entire structure of the building outside. I was able to take a photo of one of its pillars which is full of pretty intricate designs.


Infront of the structure is a fountain and a garden.

There is not much of a structural designs inside except for some designs made by intersecting lines. I was hesitant to take a photo inside as I wasn't sure if it's allowed or not. I rather chose not, to show some respect. It was so quiet inside that even a single camera click would create an annoying noise for anybody to hear! Who knows who was in there? :)

Chicago Downtown

August 23, 2007 - Thursday

Since we didn't do much visit to some places, we just thought of going to Millenium Park for a quick visit before we go back home the next day. I was curious about that famous giant bean shape thing in the park so we went there primarily to see it.

My second day in Chicago,Illinois.

Just a quick shot while walking along. The Water Tower place is also a good place to do malling, or if you're a food lover, there are lots of choices around.

A typical car park building in Chicago downtown. It is "head turning" for me so I took a shot :).
