I see the moon…

Though not a part of my initial itinerary, I’ve had opportunity to take a short city-hopping, sight-seeing, and working tour of India. Here are some pictures.

I caught a few pigeons mid-flight on a temple dome.

The towers beside the main temple had eight-pointed stars for tiny windows.

Katie wanted an action shot, and my camera was up to the task.

Here, I tried to make it look like the Taj Mahal dome was her crown.

I’m huge!

While circling the Taj, Katie pointed out these clouds.

Ok, this one deserves more than one line. We were entering Agra fort with our friends, Ryan and Ana. Because Ryan is of the pale persuasion, some young men wanted a picture with him. As they posed, a little boy walked up to me, stuck out his arm as straight as a board (though angled so that his hand was above his head) and shyly looked up at me. His father had encouraged him to shake my hand. I did and got a big smile over feeling like a celebrity. Perhaps they thought I was Rainn Wilson. Later, I noticed the little boy heading down a flight of stairs we were waiting to ascend. I stopped him, and asked if I could have a picture with him (shaking hands, of course).

I tried to get the email of the father, but they didn’t understand me. I have an address, but no name. Still, I want to somehow get him this picture.

Here’s the link to the entire album.
