Okay, I whipped this out pretty quickly (essence-mapping wise, for me at least), and have never done essence on a place before--I'm sure it's incomplete (there's no way I could ever finish it), but what are your thoughts on it? What's something I could have better represented, is there something I left out? Any kind of feedback would be appreciated.

Water:
- Appearance
- Beautiful
- a piece of an otherworld
- endless
- a mirror with some deformities
- green/blue glass
- Cleanliness
- a country virgin in a plain dress
- a solid, unflawed, diamond
- Depth
- cruel--awaiting a victim
- majestic--indiscernible
- friendly--enticing
- Size:
- majestical--confidence
- unbreachable
Viewed from a distance:
- Dimensions
- sprawling--a blanket nestling between boulders
- When the sun comes out after a rain
- a paradise shrouded in mist

Lake -- God’s ink puddled in a forest of mountains and trees

Wow! I love some of those descriptions! They are beautiful!

Thank you so much! I love that lake, so I'm glad that I've been able to partially portray its beauty here.

I like it, Wolf! Especially how you managed to capture the seemingly friendliness of the depth, but also the darker, enticing side.

Thanks, Elly! Yes, to me water is scary since I can't swim, but it's so...enticing is the only way I can think to say it. So that was even more so with this lake since I like it so much.
I'm glad you like it. *needs to get back into essence mapping*
