Taj Mahal

There I was, outside my favourite watering hole at the side of the Thames last night when, just as it was almost dark, this big boat came past towing something on a barge.

On closer inspection and squinting through the gloom of dusk, I made out what looked like a tiny Indian building.

How odd, I thought.

And then I see the pic below on the bbc news website.

How odd

Wonder if it's going to be used on a film-set? It looks very "real" though

Here's the caption from the pic on the BBC news site:

A replica of the Taj Mahal floats on the River Thames in London at the launch of India Now, a programme of cultural events celebrating the sub-continent and its links with the UK.
