Two men are in a submerged field surrounded by brambles with the water at ankle height. One man is holding a bamboo scoop and transferring water to the next section of the field. The field is either separated from the water-filled field by brambles, or is at a different level from the one with water. A couple of other men are in the trees under the shade.
