We actually grew up in Texas, so we developed a lust for forest in part BECAUSE of growing up in--well, it wasn't quite DESERT, but it was pretty close.
If you're interested in comic books, a lot of the Hernandez Brothers' "Love and Rockets" take place in the Mexican desert--particularly the "Heartbreak Soup" arcs. Also, if you'll pardon the shameless advertising, my story world of Infinity Smashed (http://lb-lee.livejournal.com/444543.html) is divided between rainy New Zealand forest and Arizona desert city.
I guess it's no surprise I don't associate "light" with purity, healing, or niceness. I just associate it with BURNING. Darkness is the pleasant place, for me!
