Pillars and Arches!

Entry-way arches and pillars of old castles carry so many stories – relayed and untold… The mystery that surrounds of the lives that were – just makes me want to remain here and go back in time to experience the times… Here on the left, I captured the entrance arches of a section of a castle inside the red fort.   The second image, is that of the long hallway inside the area surrounding the wonderous Taj Mahal!

HumayunsTomb

Old architecture in the capital of India is full of tombs and castles.  Humayun – the father of Akbar, a Mughal Emperor who made quite an impact on the history of India is laid to rest in one such structure known as Humayun’s Tomb.   I captured this entryway into the tomb’s building. The entire area is adorned with lush green gardens. I loved capturing the symmetry in this image, that these structures are so famous for!   [Shot at Delhi,...

Old Castles

Corridors in old castles are mysterious and hold many untold stories… Such is this corridor that I found, on a recent trip to Delhi (India)… This is a castle of the King Akbar and it houses several such mysterious hallways.. Of course back in the day, these were adorned with jewels and gold trimmings, yet today it stands a testament to the King and his stories, and basks in the charms of the years gone by!   [Shot in Agra,...
