Photo of the Day – View from the Agra Fort – Taj Mahal – Agra, India

The Taj Mahal is located in Northern India a short two-hour train ride outside of Delhi in the city of Agra. Almost everyone who travels to Agra to see the Taj Mahal will also spend a few hours exploring the nearby Agra Fort.

The Agra Fort is very impressive and in most cities around the world it would be the top attraction. Unfortunately for the Agra Fort, one-hundred years after its construction this little structure called the Taj Mahal was built a couple of miles down the road. While walking around the Agra Fort, both the tourists and the locals spend more time staring off in the distance at the Taj Mahal than actually exploring this ancient walled city.

While turning to glance back at the Taj Mahal myself, I saw this group of Indians doing the same.
