Landscape of Terrace Rice Field


Paddy fields in North Vietnam have its own uniqueness and attractions.
As a matter of facts, there are a number of awe landscapes of paddy fields in the world. Photographers always fascinated with the beauty of paddy field especially terrace field. The end result of the image depends very much on the natural lighting that is always changing fast in a split of seconds. This image captured few days ago in North Vietnam is one of the many images of paddy filed landscape that I like best in my collection.

An Old Cypress Tree


The tragic events that took place at Arkadi Monastery, Crete, Greece, in 1866 made it a national symbol of Crete’s heroic struggle for independence. In the courtyard outside the refectory of the Arkadi Monastery is an ancient cypress tree with a shell from the Turkish siege still embedded in its trunk. An arrow marks the spot. I delibratly captured the close up of the tree against the light burst to show its significant in relation to its heritage.
