I took so many pictures of the Taj Mahal when I was in Agra that I actually got bored looking at all of them when I put them on my computer. Hence the reason I shook things up a bit and turned this one upside down.
I was very lucky, and prepared, to get this shot. If you notice carefully... there's no one else in the photo. If you've ever been to the Taj Mahal you'll know that to get a photo of it with no one in it is almost impossible. Everyday there are thousands of people that visit the monument, but not all of those thousands arrive at 5:00 AM in order to get there first. Of course there were others who tried to be there first... but I beat them! But even from the entrance to where I took the shot it was about a 500 metre distance, so it was a bit of a sprint to get there before the others. A little out of breath, and sweating profusely from the crazy Indian heat (yes... even that early in the morning) I was able to get there before the swarms covered the symmetrical walkways.
