The air itself feels dry and carrying the faint, sweet scent of sun-baked grass, a constant reminder of the vast, open sky above. Here, the land unfolds with a patient, unhurried character, its contours smoothed by millennia of wind and rain, a place where the horizon feels both close and immeasurably distant.
