Last week Philippine Embassy Personnel visited the Baha'i gardens in Haifa, the subject of this set on flickr.

The photo above taken from the same set by Franco and Patria shows the progress of the work on the Shrine of the Bab, it's dome completely encased in scaffolding. When Bonita and I made our pilgrimage in the Spring of this year, work had just begun. How easy it is to fall into a state of reverie thinking about Pilgrimage. -gw
