Rice terraces

Everywhere you look in Bali you see these amazing lush, green rice terraces; they are just part of the landscape. Their beauty speaks volumes about the richness of this land and its people; that they produce the staple of the Balinese diet is a side-note. More importantly, they form the fabric of the Balinese countryside and deposit rich images in nearly every visitor's memory.
I could spend weeks studying the ingenuity of Balinese design; the system which brings then drains water from the fields is as old as the terraces themselves.
