Taj Mahal India DSC_2665
On some of the lists of the seven wonders of the world the Taj Mahal is indeed an epic place but probably the most memorable part of the experience for me was the trip from Delhi to Agra. Since I was in India for work I didn't have a lot of time so a colleague and I blocked out a "decompression" day to go from Delhi and Agra and back. But what we didn't realize is that at this time of the year the night and early morning are completely choked with fog - think dense impenetrable fog! Needless to say it was a harrowing drive. The driver we hired originally tried to talk us out of leaving at 4am but we wanted a shot at the morning light - lets just say it was a drive I will never forget. In the end we made it and enjoyed our visit and got some decent light and were able to take a few shots without a ton of people.
