It may seem obvious, but sometimes the most beautiful, the most special, and the most surprising things are there, a step away from us, and there is basically no point in going looking for them who knows where. And this argument can be valid for many areas of life and is adaptable to the natural context.
It is precisely in the environment around us that we can be amazed by the most spectacular phenomena, landscapes, creatures, and events. It is no coincidence that nature has always been a source of inspiration dear to man. Each season, each element and each place – even the most unexpected and the most hidden – can in an instant transport us in a vision of wonder, with shows where one almost has the impression of touching perfection. We’ve rounded up 18 examples of what we’re talking about below. Are you ready to experience, once again, the thousands of ways that Mother Nature manages to amaze us?
