Having recently been to India for my 50th birthday trip I'm spoilt for choice. The obvious thing to do would be to enter a picture of the Taj Mahal, but everybody has seen that before, so I thought I'd go for something different.
Here's a view of Agra Fort, which is quite close to the Taj Mahal:

and here's a view of part of Fatehpur Sikri, an abandoned city, just down the road from Agra, that was built in the 16th century:

All the pictures from the Indian trip can be seen at http://www.torquemonsters.co.uk/indiaheader.htm if anyone is interested. I should point out, however, that I didn't take all the pictures on the Indian trip - my other half took a lot of them. The two I have submitted for the photo contest were definitely taken by me though.
