Summer farming village scenery with rice paddies and sunflower fields from a high vantage point at the Zama sunflower field.

This photo was taken at the Zama sunflower field, capturing the rice field in the foreground and the sunflower field in the background from a slightly elevated position. The coexistence of the rural landscape and the summer flowers is fascinating. That summer I stopped at a sunflower field in Zama City. The August sky was clear, and 500,000 yellow flowers stood facing the same direction. The wind slowly caressed the rows of flowers, creating a golden band that extended to the mountains in the distance. In the midst of this scene, time simply passed quietly.
