glamourie

GLAM-uh-ree

Enchantment, illusion, a spell cast by landscape or light — the quality of a place that makes it seem other than what it is. A mountain in certain light has glamourie. So does a forest at dusk. The word acknowledges that the landscape can deceive and that the deception is part of the beauty.
