Abandoned Orchard on Ethiopian Terraced Paddies

by Carson Quintero

Late afternoon sun reflects off shallow irrigation channels that weave between rows of gnarled fruit trees standing amidst terraced rice paddies in Ethiopia. The dry season leaves the soil cracked and dusty, while the water in the terraces shimmers with a bright, liquid sheen. Heavy, unpicked fruit hangs low on the twisted branches, their skins dull against the stark, weathered bark. The wide panoramic view shows the steep, stepped contours of the land, showing the geometric precision of the terraces cutting into the hillside. Shadows stretch long across the stone walls, showing the depth of the ridges. A cluster of golden figs rests heavily on a lower limb, catching the final glint of reflected light before the day ends.
