As we approach a new land, searching for life, we establish ourselves amongst old rock and stone. Breathtaking views fill the voids of our windows, the rich colors drawn across the sky as if Van Gogh painted them himself. The mountains and hills surround us kindly as we set out on our voyage. A trek into an unknown world, seeking its habitants comes willing enough, but will they be willing themselves once they are found? The steep climbs are a struggle for our mortal frame, but the merit will soon be worth it.
