Fences, some of weathered timber and others of taut wire, delineate these fertile expanses, hinting at the careful cultivation and patient tending of the land. The very character of Pyree seems to be etched by the slow, deliberate flow of the river, a constant presence shaping the contours of the earth and the pace of life.
