desert aesthetic

simplicity,
just land and sky, sun and rock, night and day, winter and summer, pairs of nuance and dimension finding richness and depth in just a few elements instead of being overstimulated by too many details

but of course "simplicity" is a gross simpli-fication of landscape and imagination, for you can spend hours days lives crawling on your hands and knees looking for dinosaur teeth or sagebrush wings or coyote hair, there's such detail even there, in the sparsest place imaginable

even in a small white box, so many shades of white
