India - Agra - Morning Light Reflected on Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in Agra, India, built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal (also "the Taj") is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was cited as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage."
How do you capture a place like Taj Mahal in a unique way ? How do you capture a place that was shot from every possible angle and direction, well that was a question I had on my mind when I visit Agra after 15 years since my last visit. Luck was on my side once again and I was lucky enough to have wonderful sky and peaceful river for my disposal. I'm quite happy with the result and want to know how you like it. I should not forget to say that that particular morning was the only time when I have witness any clouds on the sky during my trip in India (so I was really lucky !), the result would not be the same without them.
