Seasonal Changes part 2

Now that the rice has been harvested the rice paddy is bare.  The stalks were burnt last week - we had a hazy few days.  Now it seems the paddies are being flooded.  The man in red has a hoe and seemed be clearing the channels. There was also a worker, just out of the picture, who seemed to be putting handfuls or clumps of black dirt in a grid like pattern in the paddy- maybe it was fertilizer?
You can also see the changing colour of the hillside.  Some trees have autumnal tones.
