The rice terraces in Tirtagangga are fantastic. I was lucky enough to have the old style ox driven plowing taking place during my visit (more easily seen in the large version).
After my previous few kite photography sessions with very light winds, I was finally able to get some decent steady breezes coming off the sea.

The beautiful Sideman rural area of Bali only has enough water for two rice crops each year. It is now the dry season and there are currently raised beds built within the rice terraces to accommodate the growing of peanuts, which need better drainage than rice. Some tapioca was also being grown here.

Aerial view of a tea plantation in the Cameron Highlands near Tana Rata, Malaysia.
The weather was extremely volatile here, and rain showers blew through just a couple of minutes after this photograph was taken, requiring the camera rig to be quickly retrieved from the kite line and stowed in a waterproof backpack. My wife and son, visible in the center of the image, came running quickly to assist in the rescue of the camera.

Aerial view of a harvested rice field in the northern Sacramento Valley near Willows, California.
I can't for the life of me imagine why these incredible patterns were made by rice harvesting machines in this field with no obstacles. But I'm very happy they are there for all of us to enjoy.
