A portrait orientation view, high up in a mountainous desert area. There's not a cloud in the sky above us but there's a heat haze that turns the blue sky nearly white, especially near the top right where we can the sun is just out of sight. We're on high ground with a few metres of soft sandy surface in front of us before it drops off over an edge. A rocky outcrop on the left forms a small barrier and the right side looks to be a sheer drop but there's just enough of a soft crease in the centre to suggest that there might be a steep path directly in front of us that heads down. Higher, rough, rocky walls in warm sandstone are to the right in the distance, and even more distant rocky forms get ever hazier and paler as we look further over the cliff edge ahead. We can just make out a snaking path that runs between the canyon that's beyond the lip of the ground we're on, about fifty metres below. It feels hot, exposed, and silent here.
