The morning light
To take this picture, I got up before sunrise and rushed to the West End entry gate of the Taj and I was absolutely disappointed to see a huge crowd at the ticket window and a big line at the checkpoint. I had hoped to get in early to see the first rays on sunlight on the taj. It is said to shine in a different color in the morning light. All my hopes to get in early were quashed. I took my ticket and got into the Queue. I entered the gates after spending about 30 mins in the queue and the view was phenomenal. I sat down for a full 15 mins and admired this creation. I didn't care that the sun had come up already and waiting further would lead to overexposed photos. The picture can't say how beautiful the Taj Mahal is in reality. via 500px ift.tt/1XT4lQA
