Yes, a “tour guide” was awaiting me at the entrance to the interior of the Taj, and he had a little light to show me what you’re talking about. Also, all the good marble showrooms will be all too happy to dim the lights and give you a flashlight to help sell their produts. Definitely a cool effect!

You know, when you shine a flashlight onto the inlaid stones, the light filters out through them and into the adjacent stones and marble? Kinda hard to see it by daylight tho; if you try it around dusk, the effect is awesome!

Yep, once I realized the beauty of the buliding was partly in the detailed precious stonework, I had to buy a little for myself as a souvenir, and the marble salesmen were eager to make sales. :)

My new Canon digital camera has 3.8x optical zoom, up to 15x digital zoom. Nothing too fancy.

That first picture is beautiful and you look happy :smile: . An uncle of mine has that same exact marble table top of that piece (middle picture).. its beauty is astounding is all I can say.
