Wide, open avenues, designed for a future of easy passage, cut through swathes of palmetto scrub and mature live oaks, their gnarled branches reaching out like patient sentinels over the developing terrain. The very shape of the land, gently rolling, hints at the slow, geological work that preceded human ambition, a quiet testament to the enduring power of water and earth.
