Imagine yourself standing bare feet on soft green grass, a cool breeze blowing through your hair, delicate flowers in front of you with their sweet smell and vibrant sky. Isn’t it peaceful and magical? The magic of nature makes your parched soul drenched by love and mesmerized by its charm.
Here are 10 heavenly images of the environment to overwhelm you:
1. The Eclipse

Now that looks like an engagement ring with its stone shining brightly in space. Jimmy Chin, a Nat Geo photographer and a professional climber and skier, clicked the solar eclipse on 21 August 2017 at Jackson, Wyoming, leaving the viewers dazzled.
2. Reflection of Sky

Salar De Uyuni, situated in Bolivia, is considered one of the most remarkable places to visit on Earth. It is the world’s largest salt flat, stretching more than 4,050 square miles of the Altiplano. Throughout the year, water from nearby lakes overflows, leaving a thin layer on the ground. As a result, a mirror-like surface gets created that reflects the sky.
3. Underwater waterfall

The submarine Mascarene Plateau lies in the east and northeast of Madagascar in the west central Indian Ocean. It seems like there’s a waterfall under the water. However, there is no such thing, just an illusion created by the run-off of sand and silt deposits.
4. Straight outta Avatar!

This photo was clicked in the Ancient Waitomo Glowworm Caves found in the Northern Islands of New Zealand. These dark caves are home to a Glowworm species called Arachnocampa Luminosa found exclusively in New Zealand.
5. Face-Off

Owls face each other in mid-air, may it be a fight or their way of playing. This image definitely makes us wonder how many days the photographer had to wait for this amazing shot.
6. Free Bird *Cue in Lynyrd Skynyrd*

This image has interesting compositional elements. The force of the flow of water creates a powerful impact also the water that seems like fog creates a dangerous and dramatic effect. The perception here shown is how powerful and free a bird is.
7. The Hiker.

Definitely, no one will mind spending a lifetime of solitude in this heaven. This image was submitted to the 2011 National Geographic Photo Contest.
8. The Northern Lights

Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, are seen when the sky is dark at night. It seems like celestial lights are grooving with green, blue, sometimes pink, yellow, and violet colours. This makes us feel like we’re in a fictional movie, but fortunately, this is a natural phenomenon created because of electrically charged particles from the sun that enters the atmosphere.
9. Icelandic Waterfall

Seljalandsfoss is a waterfall in Iceland. One should wonder about nature and how waterfalls, caves, and plants reside altogether and still looks dreamy. As photographer Mike Reyfman describes, "Getting in touch with the natural wonders of Iceland can be a very exhilarating and enlightening experience. Located along the south coast is one of its most breathtaking waterfalls. To take a panoramic capture of the Seljalandsfoss, a photographer must be prepared for the intense mist and huge dynamic range."
10. Angelic intervention

Seems like the Sun already chose his winner, as the spotlight can be seen. The sun creeps in like a spotlight in the majestic slot canyon Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona.
In our relentless, fast-paced world we often forget to take a break once in a while. So here’s a reminder to take a break, come out from the four walls, and explore the beauty of nature.
