This image captures a particular moment in the Vietnamese agricultural cycle: the end of the rice harvest. In the foreground, the short, dry stalks bear witness to the passing of the sickle or machine. Some blackened areas indicate the controlled burning of plant residues, a common practice in rural Asia to prepare the land for new plantings.
The contrast between the golden stems still visible and the dark areas marked by burning is striking. In the background, a brighter green line separates the field from the blue sky and the neatly aligned trees, which seem to protect a road or houses. This landscape embodies both the harshness of agricultural work and the harmony of natural cycles.
This rural scene, typical of the countryside around Hoi An, highlights the life of farmers, farming traditions and the close link between people, the land and the climate. A moment frozen between the end of a harvest and the beginning of a new hope.
