BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST WEEK #016
This photo was taken in Agra, India at Taj Mahal. It is considered the greatest architectural achievement in islamic art. A mausoleum situated in a vast garden by the river. Built by emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal who died when she gave birth to their 14th child. It took him 22 years and most of the royal treasury to build this beautiful memorial to eternal love.

That emperor was a bit crazed in the head. 😂😂
Nice photo!
Yeah crazy one... Did he want to built another palace (a black one) on the other side of the river ? I read something like that...
Haven't heard of the black one.... but he did like to built...
Yep, I did my research on wiki, a myth.
Yeah.... I think he wasn't quite clear in his mind when his favourite wife died.
Very nice & original photo... all the success for this contest.
