Cane

The area where we live is surrounded by miles and miles of sugar cane fields and for most of the year we just watch it grow. But between June and September every year it is harvest time and our region bursts into a hive of activity. Huge cane cutting machines rumbling up and down the fields, cane trains transporting the harvest to the mill for crushing, fields being re-ploughed for next years crop and the lovely smell of raw sugar hanging in the air.

I have taken a series of photos to try a give you a sense of what it feels like to live where we live, I hope you enjoy them.
