Very nice play of light, shadows and reflections.
Just note all thet deforestation also that is seen here because of terrace farming.

Absolutely stunning, beautiful and suits my eyes.
Great Job, that is a photo to be proud of.
Love the way the light reflects off the steps (gives a great emphasis to its existence)

When I see pictures like this I can’t help thinking about the tremendous amount of hard work that must have been put into building and maintaining these little fields. Thanks for this lovely shot.

It really does look like a stairway! Very interesting photo. Thanks for sharing
Eileen
It is an interesting shot. But it also looks like erosion and deforestation in another since. I will always have trouble
with Nam. I hope the food is good for the people. Thats all
I care about. EZ

This is just a nice shot! I love the texture, and the obvious stairwell effect. Very interesting. Brings many of us to a place we do not know. Neato!

The terraced rice fields throughout Asia are always fascinating. I am most familiar with the ones in Indonesia but have not yet seen the ones in Viet Nam. This photograph is an enticement to do so! Thanks.

Great photo. Outstanding for a ‘point and shoot’ photographer.

I really like hilly landscapes and this sawa is no exception. I do think the crop in the top left corner is a little too tight though.

Makes you realise what lengths some people on this planet have to go to grow food.
