A black & white representation of the Taj Mahal in Agra, India.

Agra Station. The lights kept going out but the natural light proved quite atmospheric. A longish exposure captured the moment. I manged to take quite a few images in this moment of darkness and light – and was swamped by the people around me who were fascinated at the instant image on the back of my digital camera… God I love India!

/ From the Series Patterns of India.... Heavily textured Mixed Media on Paper, with Gold and Copper Leaf. This song of mine will wind its music around you, / my child, like the fond arms of love. / The song of mine will touch your forehead / like a kiss of blessing. When you are alone it will sit by your side and / whisper in your ear, when you are in the crowd / it will fence you about with aloofness. My song will be like a pair of wings to your dreams, / it will transport your heart to the verge of the unknown. / It will be like the faithful star overhead / when dark night is over your road. My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes, / and will carry your sight into the heart of things. / And when my voice is silenced in death, / my song will speak in your living heart. Tagore

Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 17-70 lens at 17mm, F11, shutter speed 1/125 to 1/30 seconds ISO100, processed in Photomatix and tweaked in Photoshop The Taj Mahal was an amazing place to visit at Dawn, wonderful architecture and carvings. The Taj Mahal (also “the Taj”) is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Ottoman, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was cited as “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage.”

Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 11mm, F16, shutter speed 1/20 to 1/320 seconds ISO100, processed in Photomatix and tweaked in Photoshop The Jāmiʿ Masjid, or Great Mosque, and the elegant Itimad al-Dawlah tomb (1628), of white marble, are located near the Taj Mahal. To the northwest, at Sikandra, is the tomb of Akbar. The Tomb of Akbar the Great is an important architectural masterpiece set in 48 Ha (119 acres) of grounds in Sikandra a suburb of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. The third Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great (1542 – 1605), himself commenced its construction in around 1600, according to Tartary tradition to commence the construction of one’s tomb during one’s lifetime. Akbar himself planned his own tomb and selected a suitable site for it, after his death, Akbar’s son Jahangir completed the construction in 1605-1613.

The Taj Mahal (pronounced /tɑdʒ məˈhɑl/; Hindi: ताज महल; Persian/Urdu: تاج محل) is a mausoleum located in Agra, India, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal (also “the Taj”) is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles.1 In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was cited as “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage.” In 1631, Shah Jahan, emperor during the Mughal empire’s period of greatest prosperity, was griefstricken when his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, died during the birth of their fourteenth child, Gauhara Begum.[7] Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632, one year after her death.[8] The court chronicles of Shah Jahan’s grief illustrate the love story traditionally held as an inspiration for Taj Mahal.9 The principal mausoleum was completed in 1648 and the surrounding buildings and garden were finished five years later. Emperor Shah Jahan himself described the Taj in these words:[11] Should guilty seek asylum here, / Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin. / Should a sinner make his way to this mansion, / All his past sins are to be washed away. / The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs; / And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes. / In this world this edifice has been made; / To display thereby the creator’s glory. The Taj Mahal incorporates and expands on design traditions of Persian architecture and earlier Mughal architecture. Specific inspiration came from successful Timurid and Mughal buildings including; the Gur-e Amir (the tomb of Timur, progenitor of the Mughal dynasty, in Samarkand),[12] Humayun’s Tomb, Itmad-Ud-Daulah’s Tomb (sometimes called the Baby Taj), and Shah Jahan’s own Jama Masjid in Delhi. While earlier Mughal buildings were primarily constructed of red sandstone, Shah Jahan promoted the use of white marble inlaid with semi-precious stones, and buildings under his patronage reached new levels of refinement.[13] / This view of Taj Mahal was captured from Yamuna river side in Jan,09.

Camera: Nikon D70S, 18-70mm It got featured in The Photographer in Action Group on 10.7.09 The marble dome that surmounts the tomb is the most spectacular feature. Its height of around 35 meters is about the same as the length of the base, and is accentuated as it sits on a cylindrical “drum” of about 7 metres high. Because of its shape, the dome is often called an onion dome or amrud (guava dome). The top is decorated with a lotus design, which also serves to accentuate its height. The shape of the dome is emphasised by four smaller domed chattris (kiosks) placed at its corners, which replicate the onion shape of the main dome. Their columned bases open through the roof of the tomb and provide light to the interior. Tall decorative spires (guldastas) extend from edges of base walls, and provide visual emphasis to the height of the dome. The lotus motif is repeated on both the chattris and guldastas. The dome and chattris are topped by a gilded finial, which mixes traditional Persian and Hindu decorative elements. Camera: Nikon D70S

Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 17-70 lens at 17mm, F8, shutter speed 1/50 second ISO100 tweaked in Photoshop Whilst in India we visited the red fort in Agra, it is an amazing location with wonderfully carved and coloured stones. This is a view of one of the many amazing rooms in the fort, the person in the back is cleaning the wonderful floor. Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Agra, India. The fort is also known as Lal Qila, Fort Rouge and Red Fort of Agra. It is about 2.5 km northwest of its much more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled palatial city. This was originally a brick fort and the Sikarwar Rajputs held it. It was mentioned for the first time in 1080 AD when a Ghaznavide force captured it. Sikandar Lodi (1487-1517) was the first Sultan of Delhi who shifted to Agra and lived in the fort. He governed the country from here and Agra assumed the importance of the 2nd capital. (wikipedia) Please view large
