First of all, Happy New Year my dear friends, all the best for 2010!

I am just back from a short trip to India. I will start with an iconic landmark, the Taj Mahal, shot across the Yamuna River at sunrise. I was not expecting that much fog though! The Taj is barely visible on the original shot, thanks to Photoshop for somehow saving that shot!

Incredible !ndia it is! ;-)
