label: Description
content: A digital scan of a photograph depicting the exposed flow gate of a rice trunk. A puddle of rippled water occupies the foreground, followed by muddy soil. The rice trunk, which is in the middle of the image, consists of four horizontal logs atop a rectangular tunnel. A bridge above the flow gate is obscured by dry, grassy vegetation and a few taller trees. Some of the drier tree trunks on these taller trees in the background appear white in the sunlight.
