This photo was taken in India. The building is the Mausoleum of Akbar the Great, situated about 10 km from Agra. Akbar started the construction but it was completed by his son Jahangir in 1605. It's built partially in red sandstone and white marble, with a mixture of Hindu and Moslem design elements. It can be seen as a transition between the older architectural style, based on red sandstone and the new, with marble as the main element and finer ornaments and carvings. A beautiful place.

Seeing such architecture it makes me to think how people in old time were able to create such complex architecture without modern technology. Love white and black version :)
