I'm currently in India at the beginning of a three month trip throughout Southeast Asia.
I took this photo a few mornings ago. During the night before, a sandstorm howled in Agra and I was afraid the air would be choked with dust for my sunrise photo plans. The opposite turned out to be true, and the morning dawned with a sky filled with beautiful puffy clouds.
As I was photographing, a local stopped by to say hello while he was on a morning stroll with his son. He told me that clear mornings like this happen only 15-20 days per year in Agra.
It's a morning I'll surely never forget.
