Rainbow Over Rice Paddy Costa Rica Tea Estate

Hard coastal glare floods the landscape, turning the wet rice paddies into a mosaic of shattered silver and deep emerald. A vibrant rainbow arcs sharply across the perfectly clear blue sky, its colors crisp against the intense midday light. The arch silhouettes the distant ridge where the tea plantation begins, its rows of dark green bushes against the bright water below. Mud banks separate the flooded fields, glistening with reflected sunlight. The curve of the bow ends precisely where the wet earth meets the dry, sun-baked soil of the plantation edge.
