Rice harvest

The villagers had gathered to harvest and process the rice. Some can be seen threshing, some removing the chaf. They all were laughing and talking, seemed to be enjoying the communal work under the scorching mid day sun. I gave the village elder 50,000 Rupiah ( $5.00 US ) to buy everyone a bottle of water. They all smiled and waved. This scene hasn't changed in 500 years
