After standing in the darkness forever, dawn came swiftly in India.
Night was swirling away when the turnstiles opened, and I walked through to see the Taj Mahal for the first time.

It was worth rising in the darkness just for these magical moments.
For a chance to see the Taj Mahal with so few people around. For a chance to be the first person in the tomb, and have the place to myself before the noise of the day came to disrupt my thoughts.
