The air itself feels ancient, carrying the dry, clean scent of distance and the occasional whisper of wind that rustles through the parched grasses. In the late afternoon, the light softens, painting the landscape in hues of burnt sienna and rose, a quiet spectacle that speaks of immense, unhurried time.
