Taj Mahal, Agra

One of the classic views. My main challenge was to achieve a picture of the building without having it full of tourists. It was one of the busiest days ever for visitors to the site, as it coincided with public holidays in India. There are plenty of people in this picture despite my efforts, but at least they are kept to a fringe and the key elements of the view are clear. Apparently the way to do it is to queue up well before opening time and then sprint to your preselected viewpoint. I didn't have that luxury as my time was limited.
