This photo was taken just after the SL ran through a field of rape blossoms, and captured the atmosphere as the black smoke from earlier began to gradually fade. It is a lingering image. The steam locomotive passing through the yellowing rape blossoms on the "SL, Cherry Blossom, and Rape Blossom Road," a springtime tradition in Moka City, is an impressive scene. Cherry blossoms are also in full bloom along the line, making this a photo spot packed with the charms of spring.
