Dragonfruit Orchard on the Terraced Farm

A dragonfruit lies across the middle of a terraced farm, its skin a deep pink fading to orange at the blossom end, with green-tipped scales and a long stem at the upper left. A long split in the skin shows white flesh with black seeds, and a worker sits at a small table there. Farmers climb a ladder to the stem, push carts along the skin and tend tiny gardens of flowers and mushrooms. Around it, purple stone walls divide red earth beds of climbing cactus on wooden posts. There are striped awnings over plant benches, market sheds with crates of fruit, a blue water tower, a pond with a jetty and lily pads, and a donkey with a cart on the right. The terrace walls and the fruit's bright colour make the picture easy to break into clear parts.
