Howdy people,

On our way from the lovely city of Lijiang to the Tiger Leaping Gorge we saw lots and lots of people working on the land. Our guide Lee, told us that this was harvesting time. In fact unbelievable if you think about the cold and snow that had only been here about 8 - 10 weeks ago...
In October there will be another harvest.
Come to think of it this is quite needed, with so many mouths to fill. Besides the Chinese also export quite a bit of their rice and other products.

As we were driving along we had to drive around the carts numerous times and at some places the harvest was even layed down on the road, waiting to be picked up.
For us this seems a real weird way of working.
We'd never even think of laying our crops on the road, but then again, we have huge machines doing all the work for us. In China all is still done by hand!!!!
Hard labour!

Just adjusted the colors here and added a little contrast and a frame.
Hope you like it.

Cheers,
Anneke

Hi Anneke,

simple and pleasing, the sepia works well.
In fact if the road wasn't tarmac , and the wheels didn't have rubber tyres, it could pass as a old pic quite easily.

Nice capture TFS

Hello Anneke,
Great picture, lovely sepia tones, excelent presentation.
Congrats,
Mihaela

Anneke, ik geniet van je verhalen en je foto's. Deze is ook weer heerlijk om te zien.
Wat ga je nu doen. Toch wel een ouderwets album maken (digitaal afgedrukt?) of blijft alles on screen.
Gr. Els

Erg mooi bewerkt Anneke. Een hele traditionele plaat dit. Dit soort plaatjes zie je wel eens in reisgidsen en zo. Mooi werk. Mooie compo en belichting.
groeten,
Joop!

Hi Anneke,

Best Regards,
