Racing the train — I was genuinely curious whether the distant #IrishRail InterCity train or the approaching runner would reach me first along the banks of the #RoyalCanal easy of #Maynooth. I was hoping the'd get to me at the same time, but alas, the train 'won', so the runner is quite small.

A yellow-fronted silver and dark green rounded railcar-type train approaching from right to left on the far bank of a tree-lined rural canal. There is a gravel towpath on the near bank, and a runner can be seen approaching in the mid-distance. The sky above is overcast, and a branch from the nearest tree frames most of the top of the scene. The railway, canal, and towpath run straight and parallel, so all converge at a vanishing point near the right-middle of the image.
