Prayer, meditation, reflection and reading of the Baha’i writings are all fundamental parts of our lives as Baha’is. They can be rich and powerful in experience, daily and habitual in action, and deeply contemplative by their nature.
This post is a small collection of photographs by Baha’is that helped me reflect on our relationship to the Word of God. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have, and are in awe of their creators as much as I am.

Hi I’m Collis! I live in Darwin, in the Northern Territory. I’m a Baha’i, designer, entrepreneur, climate tech angel investor, and engaged in philanthropy to support First Nations young people in Australia. I've been working on Baha'i Blog since its inception in 2011!
I appreciated the variety and beauty of the selection and … some of the new angles of photography I hadn’t thought of before.

Completely agree! Seems we have some very talented photographers in the Baha’i community! The sites Nineteen Months and Nineteen Days (which is where lots of the photos come from) are great for browsing more wonderful photography!
