Roni's India Trip Pt-2: Agra

February 6 2012: Yamuna bridges and sights in Agra. Morning fog at Yamuna River and old Agra Fort station followed by a glorious day at the Taj Mahal and Red Fort with bridge views, evening at the river and sunset in the station with Jama Masjid panoramas. Over night I moved on to Jodhpur by 12307.
