Tragic Taj Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The most beautiful landmark of Mumbai is under attack today. A splendid piece of architecture is dying in the hands of cowards who call themselves saviors of Islam.
To kill people and to destroy places is what the jehad means??

It was very disturbing to see flames coming out from taj. and so many people being killed.

yes Rima. I indeed agree with you. I took some image of this grand old bulding when I visited Mumbai two years back. It is majestic and sight to behold. To see it in flames was to see a piece of history in flames. Its a tragedy but we shall overcome. Jai Hind!

Hi Rima,
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful image of this building which has had a glorious past until now. It is really a sad thought that this landmark might not be the same anymore!

i agree with you.. what is happening is a shame..

i hope that all this mess will end very soon..

i pray for the victims and their relatives and friends

(and your pic is beautiful.. very sentimental.. only, for my taste, a little too dark)

Hi Reema..this pic is indeed captured nicely..!!! I have few images of Taj and was watching at them today and thinking about the tragedy what Taj is going through..!!!

The terrorism apart..but what our politicians doing??? Cant they just protect common man and give us a peaceful life???

Anyway..this would be again a different point of discussion..thanks for sharing this photo on right time..!!!
