Agra

Continuing our India discovery adventure, Agra was our next destination. Our day started very early boarding the express train for about 3 hours. The landscape around was beautiful with vast plantations among the fog and the early sun above. The quietness of the morning, the emptiness of the fields were calming.

Arriving in Agra I still could feel the pollution, the dust gathering in my nostrils but in general the town was emptier but poorer. There were more baggers on the streets at the traffic lights, knocking the vehicles. I still could observe how terra cota is their preferred colour. Wondering on the streets we could see the effort on their daily lives, pushing their goods on the mid of the road, not caring what could be happening around. Each of them taking care of their own life. They had to, no other way. Again some looked at us with curiosity. The boy on the bike made sure I would take a photo of him, so did the old man.
