Even the fences, taut and purposeful, seem to lean into the prevailing winds, their weathered timber a muted counterpoint to the vibrant, if sparse, wildflowers that might, after a good season, paint the verges with fleeting colour. The silence is profound, broken only by the whisper of the wind and the distant call of a bird.
