Colorful Skies- Sunset at Agra

I know more color at sunset indicates more pollution in the air. But, can anyone resist watching such color? I was at Taj Mahal, Agra last year. The maddening crowd made me wander away from the mahal. I turned my back to the mahal and started observing the structures around. It was getting dark as the Sun was sinking behind the domes. I witnessed this beautiful urban sunset when I turned my back to the world famous Taj!

Looking away from what everyone is trying to see is sometimes fun! Do you agree?

    Turning your back from Taj gives you this beautiful silhouette.
