Hello, folks.
Usually I tell y'all before I head out to a new country. This time I decided to surprise y'all.
I've been in India since this past Tuesday nite. Today (May 26) I went to the Taj Majal, which is a five hour drive from New Delhi.
I took some pics and some video. I'll load the video later. But for now, the photos. Enjoy.
North Gate to the Taj Mahal
West Gate to the Taj Mahal. East Gate is identical.
Inside the North Gate
Inside the North Gate (closer view)
Main structure of the Tah Majal.
Make no mistake, it was hot. My co-worker took this of me. Way too close. Just inside of the North Gate. That's why I look so dark.
Panoramic View of the Taj Mahal from the North Gate.
Who the heck is this? My co-worker accidently took this with my camera. LOL.
Local fauna on the grounds of the Taj Mahal.
Bad attempt at a panoramic shot of the main three structures. On the left is a mosque; in the center, the main mausoleum; on the right, the guest house.
Agra Fort. Shah Jahan, the king who built the Taj Mahal, was imprisoned by his son, Aurangzeb, in the fort. It is rumored that Shah Jahan died in Musamman Burj, a tower with a marble balcony with a view of the Taj Mahal. The fort is across the Yamuna River from the Taj Mahal.
Garden across the river from the Taj Mahal
Standing in front of the mosque. I'm up on the mausoleum platform structure.
One of Alvin's cousins roaming around on the grounds.
I'll post the video clips later. Maybe tomorrow.
