These are real pictures from the fields of Inakadate. Similar to the many crop circles around the world, but more...Japanese.I think they get the colors with the three different kinds of rice.Here's how it works, step by step-<a class="user" href="http://www.funforever.net/archives/rice-field-art/">http://www.funforever.net/archives/rice-field-art/</a>This is the JT article (Aug '07) that broke this story to the world-<a class="user" href="http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20070826x">http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20070826x</a> ...And here's the original Aomori site (Japanese)-<a class="user" href="http://www.vill.inakadate.aomori.jp/">http://www.vill.inakadate.aomori.jp/</a>Many people on the web think these are fake because the backdrop in many of these pics is the same. But that's because the art is from different plantation seasons (years?).
