Tranquility
You find yourself on a boat in the middle of an expansive lake. A thin layer of mist is hovering over the water. You look up and see the nearly formed full moon shining brightly in a cloudless sky. Surrounded by hundreds of twinkling stars; their brightness undestrubled by any light pollution. It's quiet. It's peaceful. It's a little cold, but you're dressed warmly enough to not really feel it. Your nose, however, does feel cold and you bring up your scarf to cover it. Now, just your eyes are exposed to the night. You lay back on the boat and stare at the sky. No desire of wanting to go back. To be among civilization. You just enjoy the serenity.

I like the description, I would also possibly add the sound of crickets in the distance and maybe that the boat is slowly drifting
