Taj - different strokes


From the base of the tomb

One of the minarets

A Bore-well

Cupola - it is the leftmost part of the Naqqarkhana structure

The entrance - seen from the platform of the tomb
(It was a cloudy winter day, so some pictures got hazy)

Finally, some moments without having to think on things to do tomorrow and with time to come and enjoy your posts!
Loved to see the Taj; unfortunately, either my connection is in bad codition or blogger is having its usual problems as I couldn't download all the pictures! But the ones I saw are stunning!
Thanks for your comments at Blogtrotter where I'm now strolling around Bilbao!
Have a great weekend!

Hmmm.. so you are more frequent than me in travel blog :P

I have been on continuous move, so much to write about but all are overlapping. :(

BTW, how many times you've been to the Taj ?

Now, I'm seeing it correctely and its outstanding! I think the Taj is magnificent, but even if you had seen thousands of pictures you need to be there to experience it...
Have a great weekend!

@Gil: Thanks for your visits. Have posted some more pics. Hope you ennjoy them. And yes, it is definitely true - no matter how many pictures you see, you have to be there to experience the grandeur.

@Cuckoo: As you see, not so frequent :-) I have been there three-four times, but all the previous visits were long time back. We lived in a city close to Agra, and most of the times when relatives visited us, we took them to a mandatory visit to Taj :-)

@Pooja, Anil: Thanks a lot.

@Adi: I dont think there is any problem ... others are able to visit it. Can you try cleaning up your cache, and typing the link anew.

You know what, this is amazing, and nice coincidence. I have some pics of Taj very much close to what you too. See at lokeshjoshi.blogspot.com.
Do visit Qutub Complex. Thats also amazing.
