Is there a good way to end a descriptive scene?

It's just a scene, I'm describing the impact of a location on my senses not telling a story,
So how exactly do you end something like that? 
Is it okay to leave it open ended?
Possibly end with a personal thought about the location? 

I've got about 30 words left on the limit and i'm just not sure what to do with them.

You don't need any kind of special ending. Sure, if one jumped out at you, that's nice, but this is an exercise in how well you handle (1) sensory detail and (2) the voice of younger-you (not something written for potential publication), so you don't have to try to figure out a special way to end it.

Alright,  Then I figure i'm almost done.

With just a few edits in word selection and a visit from the grammar nazi and this one will be ready to put to bed.

I even think I could possibly use it or part of it as a scene in an actual young adult story, which is kind of exciting because I haven't attempted to write one of those yet.
