This somewhat surreal landscape was once on the ocean floor.
Now it is a fertile rice farmland.
Here the ox plows the field to ready it for planting by the women.
Scenes like this raise my consciousness about our connection to living creatures as part of our food chain. On a Li River cruise, live turtles, chickens & birds were all brought aboard in cages. Empty cages were offloaded when we returned to port.
Life along the Li River is diverse and continuous in this beautiful environment.
This cave felt like I had entered another world and I had. The way the Chinese used the lighting enhanced the sensation.
