Agra: the Red Fort

The Red Fort at Agra was really a walled city dating back, in terms of its present appearance, to the latter part of the 16th century, predating the Taj Mahal (built 1632-53). Memorable were the views of the Yamuna River below and of the Taj Mahal, some 2.5km to the southeast. On the banks and on an island in the river there seemed to be a reed harvest in full swing.
