The Taj against a clear blue sky

This is a photo of the Taj against a clear blue sky. This photo was taken at around 10 in the morning, when the sun is still dawdling about getting up, and the white marble of the Taj Mahal does not reflect so much light.

Tip: For taking a photo of a beautiful structure in areas where the sun can be very harsh, the best times to take a photo are early morning before the sun is up in the sky, and evening when the light from the sun does not seem so harsh. These conditions are best for overall light and getting a good color of the sky.
