Description
A digital aerial photograph entitled “Emerald.” It features a remnant rice field along Folly Creek. The creek can be seen meandering along the middle of the photograph, with a small canal flowing parallel to it. The field appears deep green against in contrast to the river and canal, both of which appear black. The vegetation along the riverbank is noticeably taller than the surrounding grasslands. Remnant “quarter ditches” can also be seen (more prominently closer to the river).
