Tombs are anything but cheerful - but the Mughal Emperors made them into an art form as a celebration of their lives. When you add a little morning mist to the mix, the effect can be magical.
This is yet another image of Humayun's tomb from New Delhi. This is a shot that I took first thing on a cold winter New Delhi morning. The early morning fod was beginning to lift, and this thin veneer blanketed the ground, swiftly disappearing as the sun got higher into the sky.
Humayun's Tomb has a lot of history behind it. It's only a mere 450 years old. In its time, it has served as the last resting place of an emperor, his family and his most trusted aides, sheltered civilians during wars, and now is a world heritage site and a major tourist destination. Who would have ever thought that the life and death of one man would have such a long-lasting effect on the lands over which he ruled and (mostly) fought over for the right to rule.
