A deep blue sky with puffy white clouds partially silhouetted by the sun, which is setting behind a low wooded ridge on the far shore of a lake. A soft breeze is gently rippling the lake, creating a long wavy streak of golden orange reflecting the sun. That streak ends in a small patch of water grasses a few feet offshore, but the nearest ripples catch shifting blobs of that golden light. We are sitting on a flattish gray rock slightly curved in front at the near edge of the lake.
