EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo captures the bustling activity at Roberts Bank Superport in Delta, British Columbia. The image showcases a row of railway cars, heavily laden with coal destined for export. Against the contrasting backdrop of a clear blue sky and the vast expanse of open air, these dark-colored train carriages stand out prominently. The creative use of composition draws attention to both the enormity of this industrial operation and its impact on the environment. With no people in sight, it emphasizes the sheer scale and efficiency of this transport system as it moves large quantities of coal from one destination to another. The railway tracks stretch into the distance, disappearing beyond what our eyes can see. This visual element symbolizes not only connectivity but also represents an integral part of global trade networks that rely on efficient transportation systems like railways. As we observe this scene, we are reminded of how essential coal remains as an energy source for many countries around the world. However, it also prompts us to reflect on environmental concerns associated with its extraction and consumption. In summary, Ben Nelms' photograph beautifully encapsulates an important aspect of international business: transporting goods by rail for exportation. It serves as a thought-provoking reminder about our reliance on fossil fuels while highlighting both the functional beauty and potential consequences within our modern industrialized world.
