    Agra has been experiencing a thick layer of smog, as well. Which means photos of the Taj Mahal that normally look like this...

    …Look like this.

    The mausoleum has been completely cloaked in smog.

    Some days, you can almost get a shot of it.

    But not everyone is so lucky.

    Basically, if you're planning a trip to the Taj Mahal any time soon, don't forget to take into account a bit of smog.
