A moment of transition

This is a picture of a piece of land that we are going to call 'Bhoomi Vayu' which means in Sanskrit 'Field of air'.  This relating to the wind turbine which is just beside it which uses wind to make electricity.  The picture is of the land cleared ready to be planted.   

I realise that I rarely take pictures of land in this transitional state between (in this case) a piece of wild and overgrown land and then a piece under cultivation. Usually it is a picture of one or the other. 

I also took a picture of the back field where the fence was being taken down prior to digging out a pond and some terraces.

  

In this case the land has been more cultivated, first with rice and then a number of other things that didn't grow because the area floods in the monsoon.  By digging the pond we hope to create a place for all the water when it comes and the earth will be used to make terraces which will keep plants permanently above the water.  

I feel we are creating something on this land that responds to what the land wants to do (flood during the monsoon) but which will also allow us to grow things there.
