Mountains of rice

One of the places we visited while in Bali was the Jatiluwih rice terraces- a few hours North of Ubud. In Balinese, jati means really, luwih means beautiful...and the view lived up to the name. Rice is naturally found growing in wet, marshy areas, so each terrace is strong enough to hold a mini-pool of water that the rice then grows from. The terraces in this area of Bali date back hundreds of years.The photos don't capture how beautiful it was!
