13th October 2015. Marazevo to Antananarivo (Tana), Madagascar.

.

After spending several hours at Peyrieras Nature Reserve, I return with my driver from Marazevo to Tana.

.

Looking down from beside the road, this is not so much a tourist attraction as a park for locals.

More views of the ubiquitous rice paddies…

.

… which is to say, they are ubiquitous in the damper parts of the country.  Some regions are far too dry.
