The sky glows brilliantly at dusk behind the Taj Mahal. (From the archives, due to time restraints.)

What can I say? I got lucky on this one. The average day in India is heavily overcast with smog and industrial pollutants, not to mention a heat-induced layer of haze which is visible in yesterday's photo. I stayed in Agra two full weeks waiting for the perfect weather conditions and I think I lucked out big time by selecting this particular day. On top of the great weather, the same day happened to be free entry because of Indian Heritage day. Allah u akbar, indeed!
