Coconut palms stand in front of narrow green rice terraces rising up a hill under a pale turquoise sky.

Palms and Terraces

Jatiluwih, Bali, Indonesia. 2022

I used the long end of the zoom to stack the layers: palm fronds in front, then the terraces, then more palms on the hill and a thin band of sky. Nothing in the frame is further than a few hundred metres away, but the lens squeezes it flat.

The lines of the terraces are what hold it together. Without them it would be a photograph of trees.
