Through the Photos | Why You Should Take a Train Journey More Often
A Love Affair With The Plains

The night views are even more serene, varying from moonlit milieus to dark ones lit by the wavering nightlights out away in the far sight. Rumbling through the tunnels or over a bridge, the ill-lit windowed sights seldom flickering with sudden illuminations baffling you every now and then. But the most prized view is at the dawn when the terrains get washed by the first rays of the sun; a golden glow over the shady landscape will make you realize the charm of the pious abode that we are living in.

ReplyDeleteI love trains. They have an absolutely wonderful vibe about them, watching through the window, sit and chat listening to the wheels, read a book laying... nothing beats it
ReplyDeleteI like travelling by train. If only they weren't always delayed -,-
ReplyDeleteWhat a great and experience you had. I never had a chance to have a train travel but it looks really exciting.
ReplyDeleteWell I guess I could agree with you. After a long time I am on a train journey. Infact I am train. On my way to Ahmedabad from Howrah in 1st class ac. Believe me hun it sucks. It is better to travel to delhi in train atleast halat sahi rehta h.
ReplyDeleteI have never taken a train other than into the city for work. I just don't know if I could sit for that long even with nice views but I guess flying places you miss out on so much.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me a bit of when we drove through China and saw rice paddies and small towns. Definitely an interesting way to see a country!
ReplyDeleteYour photos (and the point you're making) are absolutely beautiful! But I didn't need much convincing. I grew up in Germany where traveling by train was the most common mode of longer distance transportation. And it's still my very favorite way to travel. Although, now living in the USA, I have also embraced road trips by car with lots of unplanned stops and side trips.
ReplyDeleteWith a sight like that, more people should definitely take the train! So beautiful and everything looks adventurous.
ReplyDeleteThis place looks absolutely gorgeous!! I need to put this on my list of places to go!
