Returning from the fields with oxen.

Low elevation tea plantations have given way to rice paddies; heading east, from West Bengal to Assam.

The sky after the storm.

Saw us approaching a rain storm. Hit it straight on; had to shut the windows quickly.

Rain drenches the fields, but people remain working in the fields.

Non-AC sleeper class seat was a blessing in disguise today--it wasn’t hot and the view was magnificent the whole way. (AC class has tinted windows, not good for catching the view or photographing.)

On the train again, this time in West Bengal. Out the window, tea fields in the foreground, Himalayas in the distance. Didn't know there was so much tea planted in the plains of west Bengal.
