      <image:caption>We were lucky to see all seasons of the rice crop. Here is a field that is mostly reaped. The leftover stalks are extremely long. Farmers use some of them, but a lot of times, they burn them, which is not great for air quality.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>After the rice has been run through a machine that takes the kernels off the stalk, it is dried. Because most villagers don’t have lots of room, they take over one side of the road. This lasted for miles!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We were in an extremely remote part of Vietnam.
