Taj Mahal

6 januari 2012 - Agra, India

 

 

White marble in perfect symmetry. Built by 20000 men for Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to hold on to his memory of his third wife Mumtaz Mahal. After completion he was only able to “enjoy” the view from the Red Fort where he was imprisoned by his son. I guess memories don’t last. After eight years of imprisonment he died in 1666. But what a view...
