Signs of prosperity in the Dry Zone

Yep, another set of pics from our 28th trip will be unloaded here. I've only used 'Auto Level' or tweaked their brightness and contrast .

Today you will see nothing but paddy fields.. from the chocolatty mud spreads to the lush green carpeted fields.. and even farmers in action.. and covering almost all seasons in one go. And as an added bonus, some of them have stunning blue/ gray/ white dry zone skies wearing silky/ fiberly/ fluffy/ stormy clouds.. and you'd see some known critters too.

PS: Sorry for their fuzziness. I snapped them *all of them* while twisting my neck 180 degrees this way and that way while our cab was driving/ flying at high/ warp speeds as I demonstrated here. -__-
