This photograph captures a single-carriage train leisurely making its way through a field of yellow rapeseed flowers. It was a picture-book-like scene evoking a sense of nostalgia. In springtime Moka City, along the route known as the "SL, Cherry Blossoms, and Rapeseed Flower Road," fields of rapeseed flowers bloom in full splendor. Against this backdrop, you can witness a steam locomotive (SL) powerfully racing through the landscape.The striking contrast between the vivid yellow rapeseed flowers and the SL chugging along, billowing black smoke, creates an overwhelmingly powerful scene that begs to be captured in photos. By timing your composition to coincide with the SL's passage, you can simultaneously capture the vibrant colors of spring and a dynamic scene. Under the blue sky, the rapeseed flowers, the SL, and the occasional overlapping cherry blossoms create a railway scene uniquely special to spring.
