The Taj Mahal, one of the most photographed buildings in the world. It’s beauty and what it stands for make it not only awe inspiring but also spectacularly sad. It was commissioned by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan following the untimely death of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, and is regularly known as the greatest thing done in the name of love. I have visited it four times now in the last five years and it never fails to move me.
“Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passions of an emperor’s love wrought in living stones.”
– Sir Edwin Arnold
SO UNIQUE!
Beautiful shot!!!
Elegant composition – love the way the bird mirrors the crescent detail on the dome. Great image.

I love your photography. Thats a very different photograph of the Taj, hard to find a new angle of such a photographed building but you have succeeded
