These terraced fields reminded me the rice fields of Bali. Here, they are farming onions, potatoes and carrots.

It looked like a javan myna from afar but has a unique tail and plumage. Beautiful little bird and happy to have a sight of it.

Lush green blanket covered the entire mountain range and a sliver line of water fall coming down in the distance. It was a majestic view from that spot.

Angle of the Sun rays amidst the leaves and shadows had revealed the inner veins of the flower and made the petals sparkling. I liked the effect and the colors.

They are quite at ease in their natural habitat, and socializing among themselves.
