The dawn sun creeps over the valley walls, shedding light on the rice terraces.
Time: 6:45am
The early sun turns the rice a pale toast-brown.
Time: 7:00am
Minority women make their way into the fields to begin a morning of work that often begins with a long walk.
Time: 7:15am
By now the morning sun fills the whole valley, revealing the extent of the rice terraces.
Time: 7:30am
Small huts dot the landscape offering shelter and storage space to farmers during the harvest.
Time: 7:45am
Work begins in the fields. A minority woman stands atop a terrace, looking down to the river in the valley below.
Time: 8:00am
Seen from the Khau Pha Pass, the terraces look like a ‘rice glacier’ slowly sliding down the hillside.
Time: 8:15am
As it gets later, you’ll find you’re not the only spectator enjoying the ‘rice show’.
Time: 8:30am
While others watch, work in the fields goes on, with only rudimentary machinery and buffaloes to help.
Time: 8:45am
This is the real star of the show: rice. Vietnam is the world’s second largest exporter.
Time: 9.00am
The sun is higher now. The dew has gone but a morning chill lingers. The colours get warmer, even if the air doesn’t.
Time: 9:15
Mid-way through their morning’s work it’s good to see these women enjoying a break.
