Whenever I run out of ideas, I glance at my random cool words list that I've been compiling the past few months. It usually helps me, so how about these:
monolith
precipice
gilded
A giant stone temple at the edge of a cliff overlooks a winding river valley. Vines and trees crawl over the crumbling ancient walls as the golden sun sets over the distant mountains, casting the temple in a glowing warm shade contrary to its cold destitution.
...Or you could make a gun or something, I guess.
Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light.
