Trockenfeldbau bei Bushehr am Persischen Golf, Iran 1976 - Die dunkelbraunen Schläge in dem Feldermosaik sind frisch gepflügt oder geeggt. Die Bearbeitung der hellbraunen Parzellen liegt vermutlich einige Tage zurück. Land, das noch auf den Pflug wartet oder weiterhin zur Brache bestimmt ist, erscheint ganz hell, fast weiss. Bewuchs gibt dem Brachland das rostige Aussehen. Bewässerungskanale fehlen. Offenbar ist der Bauer entschlossen, der Niederschlagsarmut und sengenden Hitze am Persischen Golf im Trockenfeldbau zu trotzen.

Dryland farming near Bushehr on the Persian Gulf, Iran 1976 - The dark-brown spots in the field mosaic are freshly ploughed or harrowed areas. It is probably several days since the light brown plots were worked. Land still waiting for the plough, or that will continue to lie fallow, seems quite bright, almost white. The fallow land appears rusty due to vegetation on it. There are no irrigation channels. The farmer has obviously decided to defy the dearth of rain and the sizzling heat on the Persian Gulf by means of dryland farming.
