Did a day trip out from Agra to Fatehpur Sikri. Built by Akbar the Great in 1585, but now just a ghost town. Turned into his only failure, as it is a beautiful city but to far away from a water source. After Akbar's death the Capitol was abandoned.

Also went on to see a fort in Bharatpur. Not really worth it at all. Big fort with moat but nothing really to see except a palace under construction.

I think this water tower may just fall over!
