Elysian in Greek mythology was a paradise or heaven in the afterlife. The word felt fitting for this scene, as light was diffused by the haze and cascaded through tree branches, illuminating the leaves and shrubs. I wrestle with my own beliefs of an afterlife, the science and engineering part of my brain remaining skeptical, while the optimistic part hopes that there is more to life than just our time on Earth. If there is an afterlife, I've always thought it would look something like this.
