I don’t know why, but that TV/Radio tower thing in the distance struck me as an odd sight in the midst of a bucolic countryside. What came to mind is that it was some “strange and wonderful city” off in the distance, like the characters spy at one point across a meadow in the Wizard of Oz movie. So, of course, seeing the people climbing the hill, what popped into my mind was that they were off to see the Wizard.
