5:44 PM in Arizona
The Arizona desert bakes under the afternoon sun, thick with the scent of dry earth, sage, and mesquite. Cacti rise sharply from the dust, their long shadows stretching across the parched land. The air shimmers with heat, and the faint aroma of sun-warmed leather and horses drifts on the breeze - echoes of cowboy boots and saddle leather in this timeless, rugged landscape.
