Bahá'í House of Worship

Bahá'í House of Worship, Wilmette, IL

I've seen pictures of this building for years, but never had a chance to go and see it. We happened to be driving south along the lake, and stopped by a few days ago.

The grounds and building are beautiful, its well worth a visit.

3 exposures combined.

I've been trying a bunch of new things lately, and in that process I've been spending a bunch of time researching new photoshop techniques. Always more to learn, there is. Toss in a few of my own methods, and I'm really liking what i've been coming up with. This was a 60° day a few weeks back, and all of the ice was breaking up. It was a great day to get out for a ride. It should be back up to the 60's next week, and I want to ride and get a lot more photos. Below: 3 RAW photos, merged, pretty heavily edited. I think I have enough other shots to stitch together a panoramic from this same spot.
