There is a strong feeling here of the human made bricks and rubble, broken fencing

a landscape of mostly natural stuff but then there's, kinda, little, you can see underneath it, or, part jutting out there's a kind of manmade elements

There's a sewers underneath it

I do like...with the horses, I feel like the horses kinda steal the show a little bit. There are just these white horses with blues eyes that like really, are really like, incredible looking, like really, it's like kinda fantasy
