As your hand brushes through the tops of the wheat a gentle breeze stirs its way across the field you walk through, the sun is warm upon the back of your neck. Behind you, above the woods, a bird of prey calls.

A footpath runs diagonally across the field and, sat under the trees in the upper corner, you can gaze back toward the barn and back out across the lane, to the footpath you traversed earlier.
