Photo of the Week 25 – Commuter Reflection

I really don’t know why this is one of my very favourite images but it is. Maybe it’s the colours, maybe it’s the reflection. I do have a thing for reflections in photographs. This is just an ordinary Irish commuter train making it’s way from Maynooth in to Dublin along the Royal Canal on a summer evening at rush hour. For my fellow train spotters this is an IarnrÃ³d Ã‰ireann Class 29001 Diesel Multiple Unit.
