HARVESTING RICE IN HANOI - 1

Posted by aggie (Singapore, Singapore) on 29 July 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

The image looks idyllic but in reality the temperature was 37 degrees centigrade and it was steaming hot!
The Vietnamese farmers are very hardworking and carried on working despite the scorching rays of the sun beating down on them.

@Kheoh Yee Wei: Good point. Will bear that in mind when I have another opportunity like this. The reason why I couldn't frame it so for this shot was because I wanted to cut out the background 'clutter'. Thanks for visiting my photoblog, Yee Wei.
