In the south, a barren wasteland
The land of deserts and cacti,
Yet full of people and palm trees
Olive trees and waves
Tourism, Hollywood
Gold-panning
In the north, a mountainous, rich, fertile land
Skiing slopes and vineyards
Sunsets over the ocean
Canyons, artichokes
California

Very nice. I like your style. It is simple,not too much, and you don't try so hard to be deep like others. You just have a nice flow and rhythm. Good.
