An empty Taj Mahal and its neighboring building, the Jawab, at sunrise. (From the archives, due to time restraints.)

On a quick detour, leaving the crowds eating my dust, I snapped this beauty on my way to the doors of the Jawab (the red building on the right).

47 Bright Photo: Often, I wander around Seoul, or any city for that matter, with no particular photographic goal or attraction in mind. Locals generally think I'm mad to walk for 5 or 6 hours a day when I can hail a taxi and not besmirch the high respect unduly granted to foreigners for no other reason than their being foreign. Some days I come home with terribly unusable photographs and calluses covering my feet. Other days, my compact flash card spilleth over and calluses cover my feet. On this particular day, I returned home with only three usable images that I rolled up into one multi-image composite.
