Neighborhoods of modest homes, painted in cheerful pastels and ochres, spread outwards, punctuated by the occasional mature palm tree, its fronds rustling like dry paper in the persistent wind. The light, especially in the late afternoon, takes on a soft, golden quality, a gentle wash that softens the sharp edges of warehouses and strip malls, lending a fleeting, almost painterly grace to the everyday.
