When the sun rises over the mountains,
the air is still cool,
meaning that by the end of the day,
when the sun has crossed
the main ridge and gives light to
the other side the air is hot
and dry.
This means that trees growing on the
northeast face of any given
mountains flourish, while the southwest face
is generally left barren-
there are, however, always a few brave
tufts of foliage
who dare to challenge the
infernal heat
and survive.
so too,
with people.
