As an American living in Southern California, I found your video fascinating and insightful. In contrast, I remember my overwhelming first impression of London upon arrival from America was the incredible sense of history and - at least from the perspective someone from Los Angeles - the heightened sense of community. Great work!
@WorldAccordingtoRich Well, if you liked it I'm doing one every day this week on various aspects of my trip- I'll be posting the next as a response to this one at what will be (for you in Cali) about 4am.
The "Green Round Formations" are a form of western tech desert farming practice known as "Center Pivot Irrigation", in which a large rotating boom is festooned with a very high capacity sprinkler system. I'm guessing these are around LA somewhere and the water probably comes from the Hoover Dam.

Well, at least the heron looked familiar!
I've been lucky to visit the USA a few times & really like the place It's familiar, but different.
As it happens, i'm off to California myself next week.
Enjoy your stay.
