Cultivation Time, by Anjan Patra

Rural village is a big part of my motherland, India. Almost every state of India has its own cultivated paddy field, where every day and every season farmers do their work. In morning when dew fall on the paddy field, I felt nature has taken the whole field into her shelter. She is embracing, moistening them and with the help of sunlight they are brightly shining in the field. Seeing such water appearance on the field left me of no choice except to capture nature’s beauty.
