A view of one of the private palaces of the Agra Fort. This place, where you can see a lot of tourists roaming around, was one of the most private parts of the Agra Fort during the time of the emperor, since it was the private palace of one of the princesses. An intruder over here, if caught, could face the death penalty.

This is a photo of the sun over Agra Fort. The sun was right overhead, and the light was so strong that it was difficult to take a photo where both the sun and the structure could be seen clearly, although I tried with a few photos. Any tips ?

This is a view of the Taj Mahal, as seen from the Agra Fort across the river Yamuna. The emperor who built the Taj Mahal, Shahjahan, was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb in the Fort after taking over power, and he could only see the Taj from this distance.

I am pretty fond of photos where the light from the sun can be manipulated. So, in this photo, I saw an opportunity where the light from the sun was seeming to come directly through a canon-hole (a hole from where a canon could be fired through the wall) and the light was spreading in all directions from that hole.

This is a part of the structure inside Agra Fort. The Agra Fort is a protected monument built more than 350 years ago and serving as the headquarters for the Mughal Emperor for a fairly long time. The photo is of a small part of the structure inside the walls of the fort, and give an idea of the architecture of the building.
