Sketchbook Sunday - 11

Hello everyone!

I know, it has been a while since the last post here and all my plans for blogging regularly this year haven't really taken off ...but anyway, here's a late start. A set of sketches from my travels which were partly responsible for this blog going dormant for so long.

I love trains and locomotives, they endlessly fascinate the 6 year old in me. What is also interesting is the continuous stream of activity and unexpected wildlife at railway stations in India. Especially if the stations are small, remotely located and have old buildings with tiled roofs.

I had to switch trains at once such junction and waited for many hours with my sketchbook. The crowd was sparse and there were many crows, pigeons and sparrows trying to scavenge bits of food from the litter around the tracks and platform trashcans.

Although crows are generally considered curious and intelligent birds...I got to watch one specimen here that tried to outdo an idling locomotive in some sort of a bizarre shouting match and almost won. It was a hilarious chain of events as you can see below.

Also, here is the outcome of my previous giveaway and emails to the corresponding winners are on their way. Congratulations and thanks for everyone who played along :) Your visits and kind words are again, much appreciated.

Hope to catch up with all your blogs shortly.

Cheers!
