A beautiful morning view of the Taj Mahal -- we were up at 5 and at the gates of the Taj at 6AM! The weather was beautiful, there were very few people and it was soo peaceful.
The Taj is so beautifully preserved -- make sure that you click on the pictures to get the details. The floral motifs are inlaid gemstones which sparkle in the sunlight. Inside the Taj (no pictures allowed), the details are remarkable and lit only from the sunlight as it filters in through the elegantly carved marble screens. Truly a piece of heaven on earth!
The view from our balcony at the Oberoi Amarvillas looked out over the pool and there in the background is the Taj itself. Out of this world --- we were so lucky to get to enjoy this beautiful spot for the rest of our morning after that 5 AM wakeup call!
