$Reading for men landscapes, hello, from different landscapes. I am a river. I have two faces. I gave life. My water is fresh water, so everybody can drink IT and use IT for farming and washing. But I am also very powerful. When I flood, I sometimes destroy homes and lives. Nothing can get in my way. I am a desert. My body is mostly made of sand, and I seldom see ring. I am very hot during the day and very cold at night. Nobody wants to live in such difficult conditions, but a few plants and animals can survive. How amazing I am. The ocean. I am huge. I cover more than two thirds of the arts surface, so people call the art the blue planet. What a beautiful name. I am home to hundreds of thousands of living things. I am a forest, I am full of trees, and I produce oxygen for humans and animals to breath. I wear different colors in different seasons, usually Green in summer and golden in autumn.
