The Longji Rice Terrace

Lovely image Alec. Seems like such a peaceful place and nice clear view of the mountains in the distance! I love your composition, the colours and the feel of the image.

Fantastic composition Alec. Such wonderful color and detail...the lighting is perfect.....shining on the lush Rice Terrace, and somewhat misty over the mountains in the background. Truly beautiful spot that not only is magnificent to view, but 'gives us a little look into the lives of those who reside in this region. Very hard workers. I can't get over the terrain in the images you've been posting in the past week.....the fauna and flora are so unique.....

 

I've stepped into another world.......it's beauty is 'breathtaking'......thankyou for sharing such images that 'delight' the eye and 'capture' the heart.........sincerely, Gail

WOW! Spectacular image!!

TQ Gail, Bob, Suchit. It takes about 2 hours brisk walking along rough steps to reach this height. There are female porters with baskets who can carry your bags, gear up to 20 kilos up the mountain for only US$8 and US$30 for a (two man) sedan chair ride to the top. This is actually well worth 5 times more for the uninitiated. However we walked up ourselves and only used the porter services. Being tough guys! Yeah right, if only we knew we'll take the sedan next time. LOL!

Alec, that would help you to shed off few extra kilos:-) Superb landscape. Very good composition,exposure,DOF and colors.

Really beautiful work, Alec!

Such a beautiful, exotic, landscape. Thank you for posting this. To my western eyes this could be another planet. It is fascinating.

Beautifully done, Alec. I really wish I were there. The image is so inviting. David
