I prefer to also base it on the season and weather, combined with the type of terrain you're in - thus while swimming across a lake you might see the moon reflected in the water, while in the forest you'd hear the sounds of nocturnal animals. For example, this is what you'd see while walking through a settlement at dawn in winter when it's heavily snowing:

You are walking through a settlement, the paved street thick with snow which crunches beneath your boots. The sun is beginning to rise on the eastern horizon, its red glow barely visible above the settlement walls. Heavy snowflakes fall all around you, caking the rooftops and carpeting the streets. Your cloak flaps wildly in the wind, providing little protection against the biting cold.

But transform into a wolf and walk through the same settlement during an autumn night while it's raining and you'd see:

You are stalking through a settlement, the paved street feeling cold beneath your paws. Scattered lamps mounted on the nearby buildings illuminate the darkness. Flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder fill the night air, framed against the backdrop of incessant rain which patters against the buildings and the street.
