Oakland's Churches Are So Beautiful! ⛪️✨

I originally planned to go to San Francisco today, but ended up leaving home late (oops 😅). Instead, I randomly found a little spot near home—just a 10-minute drive away—and decided to check it out. And wow, am I glad I did! The Oakland California Temple is absolutely stunning 😍🏛️. I arrived just around sunset, and the timing was perfect. The temple sits on a small hill, offering not only a peaceful atmosphere but also distant views of the ocean and even a glimpse of the SF skyline 🌆🌊. It felt like a hidden gem—serene, beautifully maintained, and unlike any other place I’ve seen in Oakland. The area around it is clean, calm, and full of positive vibes. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to reflect, take a leisurely walk, watch the sunset, or take gorgeous photos—this is the spot. I brought my CCD camera with me, and the photos turned out incredibly dreamy 📸✨. The soft golden hour light made everything look magical. If you’re into photography, you’ll love it here! 📍 Location: 4770 Lincoln Avenue, Oakland 🅿️ There’s also plenty of parking available—super convenient! It’s places like these that remind me how much beauty there is to discover right in our backyard. Sometimes skipping the big plans leads to the best little adventures 💫. Have you been here before?
