The air, even in the early morning, carries a subtle warmth, a premonition of the heat that will soon bake the earth, and the distant murmur of traffic from the coast hints at the world beyond its quiet confines. Here, the sky often feels immense, a vast canvas of cerulean blue that can, with startling speed, gather the bruised colours of an approaching storm.
