(Extract) River Barrow Track, Carlow, Ireland
I was attracted to the 19th Century Cambridge ice-trade, the idea that ice was harvested from a fresh water ice field, Fresh Pond, transported using specially laid train tracks to boats, where it was packed tight, insulated with hay, and shipped all over the world.
While I was at home thinking about trade on tracks, and moving the ephemeral, Ireland had the biggest snow fall in decades and it was a rare opportunity to make this image on the Barrow Track.
