Hi all, thank you very much for your kind comments.
I was happy to live for more than 11 years in Singapore (my company internal move). Not only Singapore itself is an absolute amazing city (I am still terribly missing it) but that also gave me an opportunity to visit many remote places in Asia and Oceania. This picture I shot in the remote Chinese province in the southern mountains near Laos border. The people there started to cultivate rice more then 3000 years ago. The climate for that Is ideal — warm and very humid, the mountains are almost permanently covered with fog and you have rain almost every day (good for rice, nightmare for photographers). You can imagine how extended betone these rice terraces today, after 3000 years of permanent building. The terraces climb from bottom valleys to the mountains tops and continue to horisont as far as you can see. The whole landscape is changed but it is still in harmony with the surrounding nature. The people there still produce rice as their ancestors have been doing for thousands of years.
The area was very difficult to reach only few years ago. Now you see tourists coming in exponentially increasing numbers ... you see here and there hotels and hostels growing like mushrooms after rain ... many locals change to tourists business. I am afraid, the Virgin charm of this place will be lost soon ... if not lost already ....
