A young student rides a bicycle home from school along the cobblestone streets of a small village in Alentejo, Portugal. The autumn air is crisp, carrying the scent of fallen leaves and earth. Golden leaves drift down from the trees, scattering across the uneven cobblestone path, which winds through rows of whitewashed houses with terracotta roofs and blue-trimmed windows. The late afternoon sunlight casts a warm, honeyed glow over the scene, highlighting the rustic charm of the village. As the student pedals steadily, the sound of wheels clicking over cobblestones echoes softly, blending with the rustling leaves and distant murmurs of village life in this peaceful, timeless landscape.
