California: Images of the Golden State

[douglas9]

California is the most populous state in the nation, with 39.5 million residents—more than the smallest 21 states combined. It is also a huge state, ranking third in area, and an incredibly diverse place, with climates that range from desert to rain forest. From the Los Angeles metropolitan area to Yosemite National Park, from Death Valley to Mount Shasta, here are a few glimpses of the landscape of California, and some of the wildlife and people calling it home.

1. As I like to put it,

California is not a place. It is many places. Think of just about any other state, and I can show you a place in California that will remind you of that state.

Unless I could live in Italy for a few years.
