Low scrub and hardy grasses cling to the gentle slopes, their colours shifting with the passing sun, from the pale gold of morning to the deeper, almost bruised purples of twilight. The silence is profound, broken only by the rustle of unseen creatures in the undergrowth and the distant, mournful cry of a bird of prey circling high in the vast, pale blue sky.
