Canadian Grain Train Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Canadian prairies have long been providing grain, mainly wheat, for the world. But the farmers there have been getting low prices for their crops and many have gone bankrupt. Suddenly there is not enough food in the world and food prices are rising. The grain trains on the prairies are rolling again, taking the wheat and other crops from "inland stations" such as this, far and wide.

Hi john

I'm somehow surprised to see that this image hasn't got any points yet. I like its bold framing and the fact that it reminds me of a Saturn V rocket going to its launch pad. The opposition between the verticality of the silo and the horizontality of the train is great.

Congratulations

Emmanuel
