Sensing And Dreaming

OK. Poul Anderson describes a town on the quiet, backward planet Earth in a remote future. (pp. 254-255 - see here.) We look out for at least three senses and anything else of interest:

Seen
houses are low, white, half-timbered;

roofs are thatched or red tiled;

smoke rises from their chimneys;

narrow, cobbled streets twist crazily;

carved galleries overhang them;

beyond the houses are trees and the ruined walls of Sol City;

fields and orchards slope towards the distant, glittering sea;

there are farm buildings, cattle, winding gravel roads and ancient marble and granite walls;

all of this is described as "...dreaming under the sun." (p. 255)

Heard
wheels;
wooden clogs;
shouting, playing children.

Smelled
pungent air;
leaf mold;
plowed earth baking in the warmth;
summery trees and gardens;
distant salt, kelp and fish;
the distinctive odor of this planet, richer than any other.

Questions
Did an interstellar civilization have the anachronism of a walled city?
Does a landscape "dream"? See here.
