Taj Mahal, India
The Taj Mahal
is famous for being beautiful, famous for being the symbol
of enduring love and most of all famous for being famous.
Even if it were not sublime symmetry set in stone, its proportions
elegantly tempered by centuries of monumental building by the Mughal
rulers of central India, it would still beguile us for its place in the
history of world travel. For centuries it was
the “must see”
tourist sight of them all. Millions of photographs have been taken from
the exact same spot at the reflecting pool, each “perfect” in the same
way that the marble monument itself is perfect. In some ways taking that
picture is a pilgrimage of its own, seeing for oneself what millions of
others have also seen.
