Photographer's Note
The Red Fort (usually transcribed into English as Lal Qil'ah or Lal Qila) is a 17th century fort complex constructed by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan in the walled city of Old Delhi (in present day Delhi, India) that served as the residence of the Mughal Emperors. The fort was the palace for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's new capital, Shahjahanabad, the seventh city in the Delhi site. He moved his capital here from Agra in a move designed to bring prestige to his reign, and to provide ample opportunity to apply his ambitious building schemes and interests. It served as the capital of the Mughals until 1857, when Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar was exiled by the British Indian government.

Hi Sourav,
Once again, thanks for a fascinating note to go with your shot. This really is a fine building and one fit indeed for an emperor. Nicely framed with the trees too.
All the best

Hi Sourav
The Red Fort in Delhi, I have not seen it for more then a decade, but it has not changed as I can see in your shot. Good to use the trees as a natural frame, what added DOF to your photograph. Well done
Warm regards
Urs

Nice to meet you Sourav, happy to admire Lal Qila, a place I know, it's impossible to miss for a new visitor in Old Delhi, Jamuna river is visible from its ramparts
