    The paddy field workers in the dramatic scenery in Indonesia by Rahmad Himawan
    These paddy field workers get to work in the fields in front of a dramatic mountainside and moody skies. The wonderful scenery of Bengkulu, Indonesia, offered up its sites both on the ground and by air with use of a drone.

    Rahmad Himawan, 29, said, "This photo of the natural beauty is one of the most beautiful views in Bengkulu, Indonesia. The agricultural scenery in front of the Barisan mountains in Sumatra, Indonesia, is a wonderful sight. These are indigenous people who live in the Kemumu village area of North Bengkulu. More than 80% of the population work as farmers, with one of these areas the rice fields. People are grouped together, with each farm having around 10-20 members. The owner of the agricultural land will hire this work force to tend to the crops with each member having varying wages, through a profit-sharing system in place, depending on that year's sales of sacks of rice. The planting of the rice is taking place all year round and can be done three to four times between harvests."

    "The sky in this mountainous area of the Barisan Mountains has many dramatic moments, with the Barisan Mountains the cause of some of the weather conditions. I often get dramatic moments, mainly in the morning or evening sun, and can see rainbows, thunderstorms and foggy weather which all add to the dramatic atmosphere." (FOTO: DUKAS/SOLENT NEWS)

    Nepali Farmers Engage In Paddy Plantation As Early Monsoon Gives Hope For Boom In Crop Production
    Nepali farmers transplant paddy saplings on the outskirts of Lalitpur District as early monsoon rain gives hope for a boom in crop production this year. Nepal is expected to have above-average rainfall, which, according to the farmers, might increase their yield. In Nepal, paddy is cultivated from a height of 60 meters above sea level in Terai to 3,000 meters in the hills of Jumla's Chhumchaur. Nepal annually produces about 5.5 million metric tons of paddy, while consumption stands at 7 million metric tons. Last year, Nepal produced a total of 5.55 million metric tons from 1.45 million hectares of land. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
