Fields in China

Many thanks for your comments, Rob, DBAX33, kitten, Suzy and madpol. Glad you've enjoyed the pics.

Wonderful photo!!!! Thanks!

Thanks , Suzy. I hope you're enjoying the ride!!!

The layout of these fields is similar to that used by the Incas (and still used in parts of the Sierra today). It's a very efficient of irrigation, thus making maximum use of otherwise infertile and unworkable land. This works well in temperate climates!

You are taking us on a glorious adventure today, colin!

Are these the Steps used for predominately growing rice...? They are amazing fields.

Amazing.

They obviously don't get deluges like we Colin! I'm amazed at how they last so long. Top shot - thanks.
