Aerial Photo Story, Farmers Planting Rice in the Paddy Fields

Some time ago, I had the opportunity to fly a drone over a rice paddy field. From above, it was clear how farmers worked together in the fields, planting young rice seedlings that would one day become a source of livelihood for many.

The aerial photo shows a farmer leveling the ground using traditional tools before planting the rice seedlings. Other farmers will then plant the rice on the same plot. Typically, the planting process is carried out by women.

As you can see in some of the photos I've shared, farmers can be seen hunched over in the mud, patiently planting the rice seedlings one by one. This activity is not just routine work, but also part of a long tradition of farming communities passed down from generation to generation.

From the drone's perspective, the distant mountains and the blue sky add to the beauty of the scenery. Rice planting appears not only as hard work, but also as a harmony between humans and nature.

Every planted rice seedling represents a new hope. In the coming months, this expanse will transform into a serene sea of green, then turn yellow as the harvest arrives.

It showcases the beauty of the landscape, but also the stories of the struggles of the farmers who are the backbone of our food supply. Through drones, we can see this simple yet meaningful activity from a different perspective.

Well, that's my post for today. I hope this photo story can be of interest to those of you who want to visit Indonesia, especially Aceh. You can enjoy the atmosphere of local wisdom here.
