The rice terraces of Jatuluih

Worked by countless generations over hundreds of years the rice terraces  resemble broad stairs whose steps follow the terrain

Astrologers decide when rice is to be planted.  The cycle begins with the replanting of the bright green shoots selected from the previous harvest.  In the five months between planting and reaping the paddies receive constant attention.

As there are no distinct seasons it is possible to see the complete cycle of rice production in neighbouring paddies.
