Thanjavur on the move ...
I am a big fan of the Thanjavur delta region (Tanjore for the more anglicized name oriented) - probably because of my ancestral roots from that region. But the lush greenery, the temples, the railway stations, the winding roads, the canals from the cauvery - everything about this region, brings out some very warm emotions inside of me - makes me all fuzzy inside. I am also a big fan of motion blur photographs. So here, for your viewing pleasure is a combination of both -- The Thanjavur delta region seen from the window of a train (the Mayiladuthurai express), on my way back from Kumbakonam to Bangalore.

Its a pity, I could not get any nice pictures of the Cauvery river. Maybe in my next visit, I will get some.
