At First Sight - a photo on Flickriver

At First Sight

            Leaving Varanasi was difficult to do, but had to follow my plans. After, a plane trip back to Delhi and a three hour road trip, I reached Agra.

This iconic site in Agra, India has never been high on my list of things to see. Places like this seem over rated and definitely are crowded. I hate crowds and detest crowds caused by tours. People lose all of their civility when found in this environment. None the less, I braved all of this to see the marble wonder. 

I got there right after it opened in the early morning hours as did a swarm of others. I must say that the white marble masterpiece is a sight to behold and I tried use the spectators to partially frame the shot. I do believe that the white marble is the most beautiful in the light of the early morning rather than later in the morning.
