Rice Paddies

With coconut trees on the horizon, the rice fields of Goa are a particularly decorative landscape. We can see them on "interstate" 17 to Margao. It is always an interesting spectacle for us Westerners: the tender green buds and the country workers. In December, the fields are covered with water, and look like mirrors.

Wonderful photo opportunity, if you speak Konkani, be sure to talk to the rice farmers, as they are willing to answer questions if you are polite and respectful. Do bring them drinks and snacks, they work hard every day and don't earn much.
