IR scenery 52471 AHJU-CTZ 150318_2
The moody upper end of the Kangra Valley Railway between Ahju (the summit at 1300 metres) and Chauntra Bhater. Such a pity the weather was poor - it was cold and I take exception to that in India! As seen from train 52471, the 02:15 Pathankot Jn - Joginder Nagar Passenger on Thursday 15th March 2018.
On the right is one of the 'cotton trees' (Bombax ceiba or kapok) the buds of which produce a wool finer than Merino, apparently. If you look closely (difficult with such a dark shot, I know) you can just see it beginning to flower.
