The Alps

We fly past the Alps, looming above all the surrounding land, a belt of mountains seeming to scrape the sky. A small group of clouds is pierced by the sharp peaks covered in a blanket of snow. The alps were formed by the collision of the African and Eurasian continental plates. When two continental plates collide, forcing the mountain to rise. The Alps are one of these collisions, and are still rising today.
I stay at the Lakeside Apartments, which as you can probably guess, is right next to a lake, with a stunning view of the alps. The water in the lake is quite cold, but the pools is nice and warm. I have a luxurious balcony, that extends out towards the calm water of the lake. As the sun sets over the mountains, a few sailboats go to the middle to watch it set, then eventually return back to their docks. After sitting outside in the warm summer air for a few hours, enjoying the smooth breeze flowing across the water, I go back into my room for bed.
