Taj through the arch

Uploaded: October 24, 2010 05:09:14

Description

Taken from a Mosque thats on the left of the Taj.
Everything about the Taj Mahal is symmetrical and illusions.....everything is so perfect and lined up on all four sides of the building, even the gardens are mirror image its amazing to think it was built in 1632 and to get it so perfect without the tools we have today. Where you look through a door way an arch you will get a nice image of the Taj.
