What are your favorite words or phrases to describe things in your worlds?

I'm just wondering what words and phrases you use in your worlds to make them more vivid and immersive. I've always liked the term "glimmering" to describe things like water, and I use "copper" a lot to describe things that look warm, golden, and inviting.<br><br>For example: "the stars were glimmering in the night sky" and "the copper roof of the temple shone in the sunlight." I think both of these phrases help to create a sense of atmosphere and help the reader picture what you're describing.<br><br>What are your favorite words or phrases?
