Sunrise in Agra
Originally uploaded by bastchild.
I arrived in Agra just as the sky was brightening. I was there to get morning photos of the Taj Mahal, but the morning was so foggy with haze and mist that I couldn't see more than a hundred feet away for another hour or so. I left my luggage at the train station (only 10 Rs per piece per day) and took a rickshaw in the freezing cold to see the Taj Mahal.
At the Taj, Indians pay 20 Rs to enter. Foreigners pay a whopping 750 Rs! But for the 750 Rs (about $15) you also get free bootcovers (like in surgery) and a half a Liter bottle of water, so I guess that makes up for it. On the bright side, the cleanest bathroom in India is inside the Taj complex.
