The rolling canvas~

Photo of a boxcar by the ECRM in St. Thomas, ON in infrared.

I’ve always loved boxcars–almost hypnotically fascinated by them as they go rolling by. Many of them are like canvases on wheels, rolling through towns and across the countryside with their messages, either created by man or by nature and time. Many of them tell a story. I wish they could talk, and maybe they do in their own way.
