Amar Singh Gate, Agra Fort, Agra, India, 2008

This composition expresses beauty and mystery. The shadowy ceiling on the inside of the entrance arch dominates the image. The delicate lantern hangs from the ceiling – its silhouette adds an ornate touch the scene. Meanwhile, the textured red sandstone walls add a rainbow of warm colors. The Mogul Emperor Akbar built the fort in 1570. About a century later, Emperor Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal, was imprisoned here by his own son.
