story #4: sunrise in agra to matrimonials

Created on Saturday, 25. February 2006.

this is the fourth and last part of my trip to india. the third part is still to come (there was a problem with the cd- it is broken and i dont know if it can be fixed). here i was in agra, waking up early because people told me it was worth to see the taj at sunrise. as i will describe more in detail in the pictures, the taj is only a stage: its monumentality and attempt to overwhelm viewers is ridiculous. i find my visit to the taj fruitful because i noticed what architecture can do when pushing it too far. as i see it, architecture shouldnt make you feel small, and it shouldnt be 'stage building'. but anyways, i wont talk too much about that now, i will go to sauna and let you watch my pictures.... :)
