Side of river

At the edge of the river in the late afternoon, the world feels softer and more alive at the same time. The sun begins its slow descent, casting a warm golden glow across the flowing water. Gentle ripples catch the light, turning the rivers surface into a moving mirror that reflects shades of amber, orange, and pale blue from the sky above. Tall trees line the riverbank, their leaves whispering quietly as a light breeze passes through. The scent of damp earth and fresh grass rises from the soil, blending with the cool, clean aroma of the water. Small stones and smooth pebbles rest along the shore, some partially submerged, creating delicate patterns as the current moves around them. Birds glide gracefully overhead, their silhouettes crossing the glowing sky as they return to their nests. Occasionally, the soft splash of a fish breaking the surface disturbs the calm, sending gentle circles across the water. The distant sounds of naturechirping insects, rustling leaves, and flowing watercreate a soothing melody that slows the rhythm of the day. As evening approaches, the colors deepen and the air grows cooler. Shadows stretch longer along the riverbank, and everything seems to pause in quiet appreciation of the moment. Standing there, at the rivers edge in the late afternoon, one feels a peaceful connection to nature, as if time itself is flowing just as calmly as the river.
