Sunday In My City – Another City

by Vidya Sury December 4, 2011 29 comments
New Delhi, the capital of India, which I visited last December (2010). What a trip it was! The highlight was visiting The Taj Mahal, one of the wonders of the world. Here are just a few pictures from that trip. Tough choice, because I only have about four hundred or so from that trip. Sigh. The sheer scale of these monuments is breath-taking.

(Click the pictures for an over-inflated size 🙂 and if you wish, click the linked captions for more info about these places)

The Red Fort, Delhi. Sadly, couldn’t go in as it was closed on Mondays. Some bad planning on my part

The Rashtrapathi Bhavan, Delhi. The President’s residence.
She gets a direct view of the India Gate below. Not allowed inside for obvious security reasons 
The India Gate, Delhi. War Memorial. Looks fabulous lit up by night.

The Jama Masjid, Delhi. Beautiful Mosque
The Jama Masjid – courtyard. See the pigeons. Delight to watch

Pigeons swarm in, grab the grains and fly off to return in a few minutes

One of my favorite pictures. Jama Masjid

Rickshawala in Karol Bagh, Delhi. I took a ride in it

The Taj Mahal in Agra. Isn’t she beautiful? She took my breath away

With the Taj Mahal. Oh yeah, proud to be an Indian.

Thanks to the delightful Unknown Mami. She hosts Sundays In My City. She is my ticket to world travel. Without moving an inch, through my keyboard.
Let’s head over to hers, and from there, other exotic places!

Been to India but never visited here…
Amazing building.
It must be huge area, takes hours to walk around I guess 🙂
Happy Sunday!

Breathtaking photos! Especially the Taj Mahal. I remember a show on TV when I was just 13, about two boys (one American, one Indian) who lived in India. I remember seeing the Taj Mahal on that show and wishing I could go there. One has many dreams as a child! Now maybe I can live one of them through you, my friend! You are proud and you should be!
(oh and how lovely you look in the pics, too!)

Oh yes, @Blogitse. Exhausting to go around. If there are staircases and steps, those are steeeep. 🙂 The Taj Mahal is a must-see. At least once.

Oh Terri, we had a wonderful trip – five completely hectic days. I’ll go back again, several times, of course. And should you visit, I’d go with you too!

Some beautiful day I may get to see this in person. Until then, I am grateful to see it through your eyes.

I’m taken by the reddish ground in the second photo.

🙂 Unknown Mami – I love that photo too – the expanse of red was quite beautiful to see. I hope you visit India, too. You know you have a friend here, in me.
