Nocturne: Kerala railway station from moving train

One of our Kerala journeys involved a rather long time on a train, standing. It was a bit of an adventure involving the threat of being thrown off the train, and some unpleasant smells and noises from our standing position by the toilet (which we avoided using for the many hour train journey). I captured this image on the long way back to Thrissur as we passed through one of the many stations at night. The image was taken from the perpetually open doorway. This may sound dangerous, but in reality it was 'a breath of fresh air' and was a lot more interesting that staring at the toilet wall. The tropical climate, the tiredness, and the nocturnal adventure of the train journey all came together in this dreamy abstract photograph on the move. Indian Nocturne.
