Tourists in front of the entrance to the Taj complex

This is the gate that stands between the entrance to the Taj complex, and the actual Taj Mahal. Build in red sandstone, it would be an imposing structure, but pales in comparison to the actual beauty of the Taj Mahal.

Tip: When you have a structure with many tourists in front, and you really desire a shot without so many tourists, take plenty of shots of the structure from the same location, and at different periods of time. Software (such as Adobe's Photoshop Elements) allows you to remove tourists (if they are present in one photo, and absent in another).
