Rural Sumatra

The current eruption of Mount Sinabung in Sumatra, Indonesia brought me back to the wonderful few days I spent in the Lake Toba area. The scene above was a very common sight with many pockets of fertile farmland being worked by the locals growing rice, vegetables, coffee and fruits. This simple agricultural lifestyle has been going on here for hundreds of years using simple, handworked techniques and tools.
