Harvest time up north in the Philippines
Rice fields beside my mom's hospital building.
For almost a week, I was living in the hospital pre- and post-surgery of my mom's kidney stone. One thing to do, is to check the main windows for the nice views outside the parameter.
The day before, there's this one man doing the harvesting in one side of the field. Looking around, there seemed to be nobody else but him. Unfortunately at that time, my phone was being charged to be deemed useful for any photo shoots.
It was only the following day that I was able to take some shots, though no one was around to do any work.
Ready for harvest.
Rice production in the Philippines
Although the country is the 8th largest rice producer in the world, 10% of our consumption needs are imported abroad. So far, rice self-sufficiency is still one of the goals until now from the present government.
Note the harvested rice being dried in the sun.

Hopefully your mom feels better soon @immarojas. The rice fields look nice!
She's recuperating thank you..yeah they kinda nice, aren't they :)
That's good to hear. and I love rice, I eat it every day :)
You're not into rice before?
I've been eating rice everyday for a long time now, several years :)
White rice isn't healthy..must be brown or purple :) Purple is the best though am not sure if it's available elsewhere. Theyre from the mountain region.
Thank you, I didn't know that the white rice wasn't too healthy. I'll have to see if I can find those others :)
they're ok..so long that u dont eat a lot of it per meal :)
