Where has the time gone? I meant to get the pictures posted sooner, but time flies around the holidays. So, here are the pictures that were taken when I went to the Taj Mahal in November 2012. Click here for a brief history.
We toured the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort on the same day. I'll post picture of Agra Fort later. Just know that by the end of the day, we were worn out!

You can see some of the building detail here. Did I mention it was huge? |
We had to either take our shoes off or wear booties when we went into the Taj Mahal. Since it was a sacred place, we were not allowed to have our shoes touch the grounds. |

One of my co-workers (Phil) wanted to get a picture of the guy with the gun. So I told him to take a picture of me, but 'miss'. |
The entrance to the Taj Mahal. We were not allowed to take pictures inside the building. Click here for more facts about the Taj Mahal. |

This technique is actually called pietra dura. It is a term for the inlay technique of using cut and fitted, highly-polished colored stones to create images or artwork. |
My last look at the Taj Mahal. |
