At first glance, today's Photo of the Day appears to be a straightforward framing of the iconic landmark of the Taj Mahal. On closer inspection, something is a little off: Since when has there been a field of marigolds in the grounds of Agra, India's famed mausoleum?

Dream Trip entrant dmaij solves the mystery while describing a travel memory in the Dream Trip entry "A Backwards Taj".

"Across the Yamuna River and opposite the Taj Mahal, my friends and I had a chance to look at a wonder of the world in a way that most visitors never consider," writes dmaij, who wandered the plantings and foundations of an unbuilt, mirror-image Black Taj that the widowed builder of the Taj Mahal planned for his own internment across the river from the tomb of his beloved wife. "As I walked along the central axis of the garden next to meters and meters of wildflowers, I imagined the young Shah Jahan in mourning and how he approached the tomb from the river--not the series of gates and manicured gardens all the tourists maneuver through today."
