Nature amazed me from my childhood onwards. I remember fighting with others for a window seat in trains and buses to enjoy the beauty while travelling when I was a kid, and on an honest note still do it without a fight to sit in the side seat, and I am sure it would be the same for most others here too.
In every country and state, there are many places that happen to be famous tourist attractions, where the places have enough natural features that could be mesmerising for people.
But some states are blessed by nature with some wonderful sights across a long stretch, so one will be able to have amazing locations throughout.
Last week, I was looking through some old picture galleries and was surprised to see that a few years back, I shot over 100 snaps from a train journey filled with different faces of nature.
I am posting here a few of the snaps, hoping that you people could enjoy them too.

Sometimes the best travel stories are seen from a moving window

Rolling hills, drifting clouds, and a fleeting glimpse of village life wrapped in endless greenery—moments only a train ride can offer.

A long stream of water flowed along for a while before the train took a turn

Green fields, misty hills, and a quiet temple village unfolding like a soft chapter in the travel story

Cool Green fields, drifting mist, and a hidden village—another quiet view

It seems to be a temporary water body that fills only during the monsoon

A road across the green field

Maybe some village houses are under construction – A fleeting monsoon frame

The monsoon paints its own travel story — soft hills, green fields, and clouds drifting low.

It seems like we are nearing a city area, and see people filling water in pots

Serene view with lush green fields and railway tracks under a cloudy sky.

Peaceful green landscape after rain, with ponds reflecting the cloudy sky and trees dotting the horizon

It looks like a painting, doesn’t it?

City skyline rising beyond calm rain-fed wetlands under a moody, overcast sky

Nature reclaims the forgotten — green life rising amidst concrete ruins under a brooding sky

Amid lush green fields and cloudy skies, progress pauses—unfinished pillars and passing vehicles tell a story of time standing still

A lonely tower at the far end within the greenery

More big towers, and people enjoying the monsoon time

A city life and village life in one shot

City profile goes with the water body profile

Bridges rise above the wetlands — steel and concrete reaching out to meet the future beneath a stormy sky

A city in transition with three phases – Underdeveloped, Developing, and Developed

Construction became a question Mark

That looks to be a colourful modern cityscape

Monsoon made all the changes, it seems

It’s cloudy over the paddy field

There is a road through the mountainscape along

That looks pleasant, especially the small shrubs in a line
I hope you all enjoyed the journey. This is only up to the halfway stage of the journey I completed. It will continue with one more blog soon.
Please let me know how the snaps are..
Best Regards…
