Taj Mahal - Agra, India - a photo on Flickriver

It is the most aesthetically pleasing (read beautiful) man made structure I have seen. All the praises I have heard these years immediately made sense when I had the first glimpse of the Taj, across river Yamuna, from Agra Fort. And when I saw it up and close again, past the dark corridor of Darwaza-e-Rauza, I got goosebumps again!

A cloudy August evening did not leave me with much options to capture the beauty in a way it deserves. GND filter in Light Room seems to have come to rescue once more. Taj, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is one of the most photographed structures. Out of the many I have seen, two of my favorite ones are by Trey Ratcliff and Yann Athus-Bertrand.
