We stayed in a small(ish) town called Ubud, which is about an hour from the main tourist strip. I rather enjoyed the place even if it was clear that it was heavily influenced by tourist (like us!)
One morning we took a walk out into the farm lands that surround the town. These are some of the pictures I took.
The ducks were part of a flock of about 100 birds that were being moved from around the paddy fields to eat bugs and such like from the water. Bird food, pest control and fertiliser in one go!
Cheers. SM
I have seen pictures of rice paddies in the past but probably never in color and I assume these are rice paddies? Is there any other kind?? All I can think of when I see areas like this is bugs and being bitten.. Was it buggy...??
ReplyDeleteNice pictures Stewart.... This post brought South Pacific to mind.

ReplyDeleteLovely symmetry in paddy fields... and a lot of back-breaking work! Looks lush though. YAM xx
I have never seen ducks used in agriculture that way. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the ricefield view
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
I am glad that you got away from the glitz of the Bali that we all hear about. I read a piece recently that described it as Las Vegas in the tropics, a damning condemnation if ever there was one.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the Philippines where I lived in the early 50s as a child.
ReplyDeleteHi Stewart, excellent photos of your walk in Bali. Have a nice weekend !
