FROM THE AIR, paddy fields looks like some intricate mosaic. The colours of the mosaic vary according to the season of the year the browns and reds of seed-time changing to the vivid greens of first growth, thence to the yellows and ochres of the ripening crop and finally to the grays and whites of the harvested fields. These fields in Hok Tau (Stork's Nest) Valley, New Territories, were photographed just after the rice harvest. Rice stooks can still be seen in some of the fields.
