Agra

Agra, home to the iconic Taj Mahal.
Flanked by symmetrical temples, also massive and intricate.
There was a lot to see.
Impressive, massive marble grandeur. (That's me leaping for joy, and for scale.)
Equally as impressive, the intricate marble detail. (That's me in Joey's artsy shot.)
Beautiful.
This temple (beyond the Taj column) still functions as a Muslim mosque. The other red temple, directly opposite, was simply built to maintain symmetry.
After wandering around the Taj Mahal and then shelling out the two bucks for a tour, we headed across the tourist-trap town to the Agra Fort.
Joey made a friend.
More visitors.
We said goodbye to the Agra Fort (also called the Red Fort) as the sun set.
