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


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.
