Description

The Taj Mahal is framed by trees in this landscape shot. The mausoleum is visible in the distance across a river. Trees are in the foreground of the shot, along with dry grass and fallen leaves. The sky is light blue, suggesting early morning light. Other buildings of the Taj Mahal complex are visible. The river reflects the buildings in the distance. The lighting gives a sense of depth to the image.
