Taj Mahal Countryside View

As we approached the Mehtab Bahg, I was clueless on how I would use the Taj Mahal as a background, highlighting the unseen, everyday events that occur around the renowned site. When we arrived at the gate, we were welcomed by a tourist who was grumbling about seeing nothing but the Taj itself. "There was nothing to see here, just the Taj Mahal," he uttered (non-verbatim). As we roamed around the place, I saw a group of farmers doing their thing around the field. There I found my subject. 

After gazing at the Taj from afar and taking mandatory photos, I went back to the place where the farmers were located. As I roamed around the trees on my way to my subject, I saw their horsecart and followed it until I arrived at a spot where I thought I could take the best shots. While I was capturing the scene, I was surprised to have been invited by them to sit upon the sacks of grass placed in the cart. This is more than what I had in mind!
