As I drove through the vast, open desert, the landscape stretched endlessly before me, a sea of golden sand and rocky outcrops shimmering under the relentless sun. The heat waves danced on the horizon, making the distant mountains appear to float above the earth. ✨ The only sounds were the hum of the engine and the crunch of gravel beneath the tires, both magnified in the stillness. Every now and then, a gust of wind would kick up a swirl of dust, momentarily blurring my view. Despite the isolation, there was a strange sense of peace in that barren expanse, a feeling of being completely detached from the world.
