Woman picks flowers on field left untrimmed during relocation

NAGANOHARA, Japan - Takeko Takeuchi, 62, gathers flowers in an unattended field in Naganohara, Gunma Prefecture, on Sept. 20, 2009. The field would have been submerged had the Yamba Dam been constructed as planned. She says she was too busy to take care of the field, moving to a relocation site before the new administration of Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama pledged to cancel the costly dam project.
