I was reading and remembered a quote that George R. R. Martin uses. It describes the scenery that is around a character, Catelyn, at the beginning of the chapter with the same name. The quote demonstrates well how with the right words, images can instantly form in the readers mind about exactly what something looks like. The quote is as follows:
"The godswood there was a garden, bright and airy, where tall red woods spread dappled shadows across tinkling streams, birds sang from hidden nests, and the air was spicy with the scent of flowers."
Now, if that doesn't bring images to your mind, I'm not honestly sure what will...
