 Fuel barge Rix Phoenix arriving at Pollington lock on the Aire & Calder navigation on the way back towards Goole after discharging at Total Butler, Castleford 30/06/09. I was lucky enough to catch this oil barge while passing Whitley lock on the motorway but unfortunately the sunny weather had collapsed by then but still a pleasing enough shot.
