 WELCOME TO SAPA!

The terraced paddy-fields are built by the Hmong and Dao on the slopes where the water supply is sufficient to provide irrigation throughout the growing season. It takes a tremendous amount of work to create and maintain the paddy-fields and, in the absence of all instruments, it requires an elaborate ancestral technique, already used by the Chinese peasants before they emigrated during the second half of the 19th century. The surface area of the projected terraces is calculated according to the available water-flow. All the terraces must be perfectly horizontal, so as to maintain a constant water level before they pour into the terrace immediately below.

Thanks for comments!

Nice shot. Could be in focus just a bit more as it seems it is slightly out but that could be from saving it for the web. Fits well. Good color.

Stunning image, strong vibrant colors, wonderful composition, though I'm not sure where "branch" fits in. I can actually here the water streams.

What a combination of colors. A little sharper focus... and I would've given 10.

This is a lovely landscape shot, but seems to be depicting the main river rather than a branch or stream. sorry.

If the branch is that little break along the ridge just above center, then it needs to be emphacized. If not, I don't get the connection to the challenge. Nice postcard shot tho.
