THE TERRACES
Water sits in the paddies like mirrors laid on a staircase, curving with the hillside, one step at a time, down toward a valley the fog hasn't decided to release yet. This is the off-season—no green rice, no colour, just wet earth and cut stalks and the shape of a system that's centuries old. Somebody's hut sits halfway down the slope, small and worn and easy to miss. The hills behind fade to grey, then to nothing, swallowed by mist that never quite lifted the whole time we were here. It doesn't feel empty. It feels like the land is resting between seasons, and we walked in on the quiet part. The terraces are not decoration. Every curve was cut by hand, generation after generation, to hold water on a slope that wanted to let it go. This is Sapa without the polish. Grey and gold and green, and true.
