Is there anything better than a park bench on a beautiful fall day with a view near the water? Gillson Park in Wilmette, Illinois offers such an opportunity. Bordered by Wilmette Harbor to the south and Lake Michigan to the east, Gillson Park provides the casual autumn stroller many places of respite and contemplation. This particular bench happens to be my favorite, with its view of the harbor and the magnificent dome of the Baha'i Temple across Sheridan Road. From here, I can listen to the call of the birds as they perch upon the empty moorings of the harbor, or the steady roar of the waves crashing along the beach as the winds sweep across Lake Michigan.
Now that's heaven.
