This photo captures the very moment just before the steam locomotive races through a field of blooming rapeseed flowers. The sheer power of the thick, black smoke billowing into the sky was truly impressive.If you visit Moka City in spring, photographing the "SL, Cherry Blossoms, and Rapeseed Flower Road" is a must. The sight of the steam locomotive running through the vast rapeseed flower fields, trailing smoke, is truly spectacular—a scene that stays with you just by seeing it. The moment where the movement of the train intersects with the stillness of the flowers is worth capturing in a photograph. Especially on a clear day, the brightness of spring shines even more brilliantly.
