| The imposing red sandstone Qtub Minar rises to a height of 72.5 m (235 ft). |
 |
| The Qutb Minar is relatively close to the Delhi airport. The superposition of 21st and 13th Century artifacts is typical India. |
 |
| Remnants of a mosque frame the famed iron pillar -- a Fourth Century artifact that does not rust. |
 |
| A close-up of the central arch in the photo above shows both the detail of stonework and varied color of the sandstone. |

| Even in Delhi, westerners attract attention. This group of school boys really wanted David & Maria in their pictures. |
 |
| Qutb Minar is a great place to photograph Rose-Ringed Parakeets. |
