Lazy Sunday Photo- Taj Mahal, The Good Old Taj Mahal

Posted on November 9, 2008

Taj Mahal as seen from Agra Fort

The Taj Mahal needs no introduction nor am I going to give one. I took this picture when I just had a Nikon point and shoot camera. I feel that with a better lens, the Taj Mahal views are magnificent from the Agra Fort and I should give it another try. I will of course need two things, a better lens and a will to drag myself to Agra again.

Taj Mahal Lawn Mowing, I consider this my Best Shot of the Taj Mahal!

I still remember the moment very clearly. We (Dilip, Sunil and I) were walking towards the Taj Mahal and suddenly I saw these bulls positioned in front of the Taj Mahal. Images of all those dignitaries posing (Princesses Diana in particular) flashed through my eyes and I liked what I saw more than anything I had seen before. In fact there was another tourist along with me who ran towards this side path and both of clicked away. I have of course posted the picture of the bulls and the Taj before but then I like it so much that I thought I can post it once again.

    Well, when I was there in July they were using electric lawn movers to chop off extra grass.

    So, the first photo shows the view that Shahjahan had of the Taj Mahal.The lawn-mowing method seems to be more eco-friendly than those powered by diesel engines.

    I agree Vamsee.Ravi, I don’t even know how to use Photoshop so has to be true!Shrinidhi, I should go there once again!Sidhu, they say so, that Shahjahan would see Taj Mahal from Agra Fort. They I am sure do not use Diesel engines because of the restrictions on polluting stuff near the Taj Mahal in place. But as Shrinidhi says they may have graduated to Electric one.
