The water was cold that day. You could tell because of the light mist that was coming up with the hard wind. The rocks were like a castle and slippery like sheets of ice. The tree that stood on top of the rocks was waving back and forth like it was waving goodbye. The tree must have been lonely up there all alone with no others. Waiting of someone....

The waves crashed helplessly aginst the cold hard stone, leaving only the shadow of desperate water behind.The mountains in the background seemed to breathe cold fog onto the uncontrollable ocean below.It made me shiver.The salty smell creeped up my nose filling my airways with the ocean fragrance. I felt the chilly air underneath my skin as if I was being pressed onto a cold rock. I heard the rapids pound aginst the jagged stones coming up from the ocean's underneath. I didnt want this moment to end....

The waves would splash up against the jagged rocks of the island spreading a smooth salty smelling breeze across the green mountains. Every gust making another leaf fall slowly to the ground just to be crushed by the hoof of a running deer. Who was trying to shake the vicious pack of coyotes. The thumping of the coyotes paws shook the ground and trees warning every woodland creature what horrible fate they would suffer if they didn't run. When the coyotes caught up their scythe like claws cut through the deer's skin like butter. Killing it in an instant. This just goes to show that such a beautiful looking place might not be as peaceful as you thaught.

The lake looked like it was so cold it could have killed you, the rocky cliffs were razor sharp from years of being beaten by the killer waves. The tallest tree all alone on a large rocky outcrop swayed back and forth with such force it could have ripped your arm off on contact. The sound of the terrifying white-capped waves crashing against the jagged cliffs was almost deafening. A thick layer of fog covered the mysterious lake, hovering there like a blanet on the eerily cold morning. Invisible from the shore the hideous morphed, and twisted creatures that lay at the bottom of the lake made no noise and no movement just waiting for their next victim. Their smell filled the air with a putrid stench that not even the water could mask. It was so strong it seemed to rot every thing around it. The thick dark storm clouds filled the sky, blocking out all light and turning the lake and shores pitch black.

I stared as the aqua waves crashed into the giant rock wall. The trees danced in the wind as hurricane like winds blew the trees back and forth. The dark giant disapeared as a fog cloud crept along with the hurricane like winds. mist jumped out of the water as it crashed into the rock wall. The smell of salt water hung smoothly in the air with the slightest touch of
fish. It was a great day there!

The thundering sound of the waves crashing against the steep cliff side filled my ears, that dark and cloudy day. As the rough water spread through the rocky ravine the mist filled the air leaving only the strong smell of salt water behind. The ocean was as blue as the sky on a bright summer day. The bright colours of the single pine tree screamed at me against the colour of the cold rigged stone. And the dark hills in the background faded as the fog rolled in.

The waves were rushing up on the big huge rocky hill. I could see the sun trying to peek out from behind the grassy mountain in the shadows. The mist from the water was so thick you could almost taste it. The rocks were as sharp as knives digging into my feet. I could here the wind whistling through the mighty green trees. There was hardly any grass in sight, all you could see was the green and brown moss growing on to the hill made up of big giant boulders . The boulders were so big they looked like the feet of a giant, wading into the water.

Paragraph
The mist flew up on the jagged rocks as I walked down the uneven pathway covered in tiny stones. When I got to the top of the cliff, the wind blew through my fine brown hair, and spread the sent of pine, from the single tree not to far from the end of the cliff. I looked out at the ocean, it looked as cold as ice, and as deep as a black hole. I saw the shimmering mountains in the distance, with thick dim clouds surrounding them, and then i thought no matter how hard someone tried they could never disturb me in this calm place.

The giant bulky waves a mile high crushed against the ginormous rocks almost shattering on contact, creating a fog that traverses the lake hiding the crocodiles to make it easier to catch their prey. The smell of sap loomed above the soil, the field filled with trees made it impossible to get rid of the scent. The birds chirping and the squirrels chattering signified that it was morning. This is the place, one of the only places left that the humans haven't found, where streets or malls that could be here now aren't, because Mother Nature is protecting her baby. This place is so beautiful because Mother Nature gave birth to it, and it inherits the eye popping beauty of it's mother.

The deep blue of the ocean crashed recklessly against the large mountain like rock turning it's pale white into a flushed-out black. The sky was filled with thick fog, hiding the bright glow of the sun making the morning look cool and crisp. As the thunderous waves crashed against the rocks, the strong pungent smell of salt water filled the air making my eyes tear up. I looked into the distance and saw the mere outline of giant mountains towering over the ocean. I felt the swift rush of strong air whistle through my ears as I climbed up to the top of the large rock. I felt the spray of crisp ocean water as it crashed against the rock flying little drops of water into my face. I then felt calmed and relaxed and I knew that no one could break the way that I felt when I was in this calm place.

As I stood on the edge of the tall, mighty rock mountain I could smell the salty waters as it swirled through my nostrils carrying a sour smell. I could hear the waves heaving up on the rocky shore. As I stood there I could feel the jagged rocks digging into the soles of my feet and peeking between my toes. I could barely make out the enormous green grassie hills peeking through the icy, thick fog. On that rocky mountain the boulders were bigger than the moon shinning brightly in the shimmery night sky. As I stood on the edge of the mountain I could taste the fresh pine breeze that filled the air from the towering dark green trees. You could hear the waves pounding against the rocks so loud it sounded like a battle field. The smell of salty fish swimming around in the teal coloured water filled the air. The wind roared like a lion brushing through the tree's shining leaves. You could almost tast the air entering your mouth and filling your whole body with the feeling of power. Over in the distance the mountains stood strong making sure no one got passed them. Even from a distance you could feel all the cracks in the large boulder in the water. It was, a beautiful day.

The Ocean
I was almost to the ocean! I could hear the angry waves crashing into the rocks! As I got closer I could smell the poor fish being sweapt away by the waves. I got so close I dipped my foot into the ocean. The freezing cold water against my skin! I could taste the strong salt water splashing in my mouth! The beautiful light blue ocean swifting back and forth making me dizzy!

Today I went on a hike, and I decided to stop at the top of a hill where I saw an amazing view of the light ocean blue sea. The wind was roaring like a lion and making the water run like race horses. The water was pounding against a huge rock wall that was the size of Mount Everest. At the top sat a tree, a very lonely tree all by himself, as if he was just looking far beyond the ocean. As I stood there, I could smell the wonderful sea air as salty as I could be. I also could smell the pine smell of the forest as it surrounded me like the water in my swimming pool. I sat down on the grass that was smooth as silk. I laid back and landed on a rough bark covered tree. It had bark torn up on it and it was some what painful to lay on but still very peaceful. I could feel the wind blowing in my hair and touching my skin. I closed my eyes and I could hear the waves swishing from the ocean. I could even taste the sea salt in my mouth, it tasted like heaven.

The Mighty Ocean
The mighty ocean crashed against the huge killer boulders that were surrounded by the amazing ocean. You could taste the anticipation of the great oak tree inching its way towards the rocky death. The oak shook violently as the colossal wave’s pounded against the killer boulders. The mist covered the whole terrain you could hardly see the small meadow that quietly hung in the background. I could fell the brisk wind bouncing off of the small pebbles that clung together in one little bunch.

I sat on the edge of the cliff, watching the restless ocean below me. The waves crashed into the rocks, spilling salty spray high into the air that filled my nose with the soft smells of the ocean. Far into the distance, stone giants rose up from the sea, stretching toward the sky. I watched as small stones tumbled down the rocky slope into the depths below. I felt the cold hard stone under my hand as I knelt on the rocks peering at the water. I turned around and looked at the trees. They seemed to shy away into themselves, hiding from the roar of the raging rapids . The crushing power of the waves was hitting the hitting the jagged rocks. There was a lone tree standing proud above the others on the edge of the vast ocean of treacherous and mighty waves. In the distance is an island with fog as thick as smoke from a Cuban cigar making it almost invisible to the human eye. On that’s large mountainous island were some houses near the shore, which was a small beach, flowing the length of that foggy land. Don't forget there is a deep meadow with all the other trees surrounding, with the smell of dead animals. Which may go on for miles for all I know.
