Sparkling

Sparkling is an optical phenomenon exhibited by materials, both solids and liquids, in which numerous points of light appear and disappear, or change in brightness as the material, observer, or light source moves, creating an impression of brilliance and visual movement. In many materials, this effect results from specular reflection by small reflective particles, facets, or flakes that direct incident light toward the observer, although sparkling can also result from refraction and other optical phenomena.

Lake

A lake is often a naturally occurring, relatively large and fixed body of water on or near the Earth's surface. It is localized in a basin or interconnected basins surrounded by dry land. Lakes lie completely on land and are separate from the ocean, although they may be connected with the ocean by outflowing rivers. Lakes, like other bodies of water, are part of the water cycle, the processes by which water moves around the Earth. Most lakes are fresh water and account for almost all the world's surface freshwater, but some are salt lakes with salinities even higher than that of seawater. Lakes vary significantly in surface area and volume of water, but in total cover approximately 2.5 × 106 km2 (less than 2%) of the Earth's surface.
