United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, the railways are more than just a means of transport; they are an integral part of the nation's heritage. Picturesque steam locomotives rolling across the countryside, vintage carriages parked at quaint stations, and the bustling energy of city terminals are all subjects rich with narrative potential. The combination of dramatic landscapes and architectural marvels creates a stunning backdrop for capturing the interplay between nature and man-made structures.
