As you can see from Matt's post below...last weekend we visited the Taj Mahal. I could go on and on about how magnificent everything was but a picture is worth a thousand words :-)
It rained when we visited the first day we arrived...and of course there was Bollywood style dancing (see the Indian child in the foreground)!
The three pictures above show the Taj as the sun comes up. We were there at 5:30AM to see the sunrise...absolutely worth it! Notice how there are NO people in the frame :-)
The final resting place of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal. We were the first ones there after the monument opened and got to hear the famous mystic vibration - an eerie hum created by cool air expanding in the dome of the tomb in the early morning! Creepy and spiritual at the same time...
This last picture shows the view from our hotel window...ridiculous. :-)
Amazing view from the hotel! I love all the shots of the Taj Mahal and especially like learning about the mystic vibration.
