And, Pearland has a population of almost 100,000 now - it used to be a small place, but it isn't any longer.

At any rate, that has little to do with the Temple which is a nice change from many other buildings in the area.

My favorite Temple is not in Texas though, it is the Baha'i Temple in Wilmette, IL. I used to walk there on Sundays with my walking club back in the 90s. I can't find any of my pictures on the computer though.

What a neat thread. It is great to see pictures of sights in this city, even though I've been here all my life. There are also many things I have not seen. Like the Temple!

By the way, to elnina: Your photos are beautiful! What camera do you use to photograph them (sorry, if it was already mentioned i did not see)?
