The Taj Mahal Hotel is in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), the most populous city in India, with 14 million people. Mumbai is also the home of the film industry known as Bollywood.

Since 1903, the Taj Mahal Palace has been host to Maharajas and Princes, and Kings, and Presidents.

I can no longer find the photo I used as a model, but here's a beautiful night view of the entire hotel, including the newly constructed tower:

And a bird's eye view looking from the top over the Arabian Sea:

Wonderful image with some deep color logic needed to solve. I should've been doing something else (Christmas shopping) and couldn't pull myself away.

Thanks!

Sweet. But, Teresa, I do like a comment about Bob and Kate sleeping in!!
#9: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 20, 2010 [SPOILER]
Okay, you asked for it!

After Bob and Kate were instructed in the art of Kama Sutra by their new "friend," they tried out some of the suggestions that evening. They were so relaxed the next morning, they decided to stay in bed. They tried to sleep in, but something woke them up...


Those birds outside their window. Remember? What were you thinking!
