Shoghi Effendi's Love for Switzerland

Rúhíyyih Khánum

No description or date of this video is given; please contact us if you know. But the following was found at bahaitexts.blogspot.com:
    Shoghi Effendi loved nature. Whenever he felt the need for a rest it was not to the big cities that he went but to the mountains of Switzerland where he bicycled and climbed... His travels to Africa were for the love of nature and the simple life. (Lowell Johnson, Our Beloved Guardian, p. 41)

    His one single personal hobby was photography; he took superlatively artistic pictures of the scenery in Switzerland and other places during those early years... (Rúhíyyih Rabbaní, The Priceless Pearl, p. 88)
