Lone Terrace Farmer

Photo by Lindsay Deen in Longji, Longsheng County, Guangxi, China in May of 2008. Depicts the Longsheng Rice Terraces.

Taken from the fantastic staircase that leads to the mountaintop village of Longji, China, this photo depicts a lone rice farmer tending epic terraces. I stopped to snap the picture, and my traveling companions continued onward without me. Alone, I honored his toils by capturing the image, and alone, he tended the plants.
