23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Collecting Rice Straw
This is a scene in a mountainous area of Yunnan Province in southwestern China. In autumn, a middle-aged farmer uses a pitchfork to pile up dry rice straw in a harvested rice field. A small river flows gently behind his paddy field. On the opposite bank are gentle hillsides. This is a beautiful autumn scene with harmonious colours and a vivid theme.
