This is the best image up to this point of the Baha’i Temple in Wilmette, over five miles to the north.
Image taken Saturday, 09FEB2013
In case you’re wondering, the distortion at mid to lower left is caused by a building of yet another faith…the Shambhala Meditation Center is just one hundred feet away, and obviously their furnace was running. I managed to crop out the chimney, but could do nothing re: the mirage-like heat distortion!

I think the shimmer actually adds to the image – makes it sort of surreal
It’s a bit weird, smacked, and I didn’t notice it until I uploaded and cropped the shot! One of those ‘fun’ surprises…and…sometimes faith itself can be a bit surreal, yes?
