#34: Full View of The Taj Mahal
Most people have never been lucky enough to visit the Taj Mahal, but we’ve all seen photos of its beautiful grandeur. It looks like a building out of a fairy tale. Where else would you see a beautifully carved ivory marble building, perfectly situated at the head of the most magnificent reflecting pool?
The pictures don’t often show us much outside that popular view, so most people assume that the rest of the area around the Taj Mahal is just as sculpted and clean-looking. Unfortunately, however, that isn’t true. The city it’s located in is called Agra and is rather primitive with little infrastructure. So wide-angle pictures show a very different setting than most people would imagine.
