We woke up early to photograph the Taj Mahal in the early morning light during sunrise, from the Mehtab Bagh (Moonlight Garden) across the Yamuna River looking at the back of the Taj.

Not everything went according to plan. Our tour leader had asked the local guide to 'rent' a camel, so that we could photograph the camel walking in the river against the backdrop of the Taj. But the river bank was inaccessible, cut off from the Mehtab Bagh by a row of barbed wires.

So we have to do without the camel. As to what happened to the camel, that is another story...
