Description

An aerial view of the Cambodian countryside between Phnom Penh and Battambang in the wet season, demonstrating the heavy use of land for rice growing, an activity which employs 85 percent of the country's labour force. The pattern of villages and their associated paddy fields is exemplified by the small town to the left.
