Farmsteads, weathered and sturdy, dot the countryside, their barns often painted a faded red, standing as quiet sentinels against the vast expanse of sky. The roads, unpaved in many places, wind with the natural contours of the land, leading past fields where cattle graze lazily, their forms softened by the hazy afternoon light.
