Fresh off the Train

I'm a fan of train travel and my all-time favourite things to do is to stand near an open door holding tight on to the vertical metal handles enjoying the strong man-made breeze, while gawking at the endlessly beautiful stream of images that keep popping up every few seconds. Its an experience that fills up your senses like no other, with an alluring mix of beauty and danger. 

But the limitations of photography make most attempts to capture them futile, due to camera shake or motion blurring -

Except when the train decides to stop in the middle of nowhere, and the hot sweltering afternoon gives way to a cooler cloudy evening and a quiet village home in the background, the scene interrupted by a well-dressed couple on a two-wheeler off to some family function. 

Every train ride, I might frame and click hundreds of pics in my mind capturing the infinite beauty of ordinary people, places and  things. 

This is just one of them that got captured in digital form.
