This is the result of flooding on the Galway to Dublin rail line, near the town of Gort. Storm Frank blew it self out this morning and we got a few hours of weak winter sun. Small mercies i guess...
It's a restful image, tranquil even. No locomotive is going to go blasting through this scene. Those waterfowl enjoying their new territory near the signal post know this. As does, I suppose, the photographer.
