I am awed by the creative mind of humankind all over the world.... Stunning crop art has sprung up across rice fields in Japan, but this is no alien creation.
The designs have been cleverly planted. Farmers creating the huge displays use no ink or dye. Instead, different color rice plants have been precisely and strategically arranged and grown in the paddy fields.
As summer progresses and the plants shoot up, the detailed artwork begins to emerge. This year, various art works has popped up in other rice-farming areas of Japan.
The farmers create the murals by planting little purple and yellow-leafed Kodaimai rice along with their local green-leafed Tsugaru, a Roman variety, to create the colored patterns in the time between planting and harvesting in September.
Closer to the image, the careful placement of the thousands of rice plants in the paddy fields can be seen.
