113/365 - Sunset at the Taj Mahal

Wow.

 

We saw the Taj Mahal in the late afternoon as soon as we got into Agra. It's absolutely, truly unbelievable. I don't want to sound arrogant but I've been to an awful lot of places and I have to say the Taj is top of the charts as far as simply incredible human structures. Adriana and I had a field day spending the afternoon there. We had a guide who was just out of this world, a gentleman from Agra who not only gave us a great tour but also pushed, shoved, and jostled for position amongst the throngs of thousands to ensure we got the pictures we wanted. :)

 

I posted this one for my 365, if you're looking at the Taj when you walk down the reflecting pool it's taken from the right side. I liked the sun flare and silhouette of the person admiring the building.

 

India has a lot to offer and the Taj is well worth all the hassle with respect to Indian visas and the drive from Dehli and everything else. It's really a site you should see before you die.
