Travel Photo: Rice Hanging Out to Dry

Harvest Season Has Begun

 

 

 

It's the time of year when all the fences in Igei, will become rice drying racks.

This morning, as we were driving south on HWY 329, is the first time I noticed.

One of my favorite places to go with the cameras is this small village, to see the rice crop.

Before long, there will be tons of the harvest, lining the roads in every direction, you look.

Early  morning and, late afternoon, are the best times for photos but, we were in a hurry.

On a mission with, Click Okinawa Dude, there wasn't time to stay very long.

And, a trip to the southern ends of the island, kept us on the road until after sundown.

As long as typhoons stay away, I'll have plenty of chances to visit with the wide angle lenses.

Heck, it's just a few miles away and, I can walk down there to get some more photos.

Most of the shots I take are with a MANFROTTO.

Photo of the Week: Before Rice Krispies®

Before making Rice Krispies®, it's always best to krispify the rice.

I think that's what they were trying to do in Yaka Okinawa, Japan yesterday.

This photo was taken to show part of the process.

There's probably a lot more that you don't know about it.

The people over at Kellogg's ® Rice Krispie's® could tell you the whole story, I bet.
