The air, even on a still day, carries a fine, persistent dust that lends a soft, diffused quality to the light, and when the wind does stir, it moves with a steady, unhurried breath across the open country, carrying the scent of dry soil and distant rain. The physical character of Shallowater is one of straightforward practicality, with low-slung buildings and wide streets that speak of an openness that mirrors the surrounding plains.
