Sugar Beet on the Move, October 2005.


The sun peeks through a laden sky after an Autumnal shower as Irish Rail V250, a sugar beet train from Wellingtonbridge to Mallow rolls along the Cork main at Shinanagh near Buttevant.

I exposed this view on Fujichrome Velvia100 using a wideangle lens.

My intent was to capture the dramatic light and textured sky.

This was to be Irish Rail’s final sugar beet season. The traffic ended forever in January 2006.

    Really effective use of light, as the sun set on the beet.
