Brits of NFA tour the USA
Beneath the exposed naked sun is a parched earth torched by months of cloudless and rainless skies.
.
There’s barely a breath of wind except for the occasional gust that rattles the dry dead leaves and causes dust to swirl.
.
Cobwebs, old and new adorn every nook and cranny of the dry lifeless buildings.
.
Only silence, no birds, no insects. Few animals can survive upon the desiccated earth.

(Led Zepelin 1975)

The age old country is now silent, barren, and devoid of life giving water and air conditioning.
