Cane Fire Dark

In order to process the sugarcane, HC&S needs to burn the sugarcane plants first.  That's right, even in this day and age, we still burn our crops...  A lot of the burning is done at night or during the early morning hours, which minimizes smoke inhalation and interference with the general public.  The burning of the cane is a cause of major controversy among locals, and the smell, smoke, and "black snow" - the airborne ash that carries for miles and covers everything, are a real nuisance at times.  However, when you get to see it burn and marvel at how HC&S keeps the fire from spreading, it's kinda neat.

I captured an image of a cane fire on my way to work today.
