“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. … There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

Nature has always been an inspiration for humanity, but without a doubt, authors and artists worldwide.

Nature is awe-inspiring and breathtakingly beautiful, and those who spend time in its embrace reap enormous rewards.

While civilization is associated with turmoil, anger, and disappointment, nature is associated with happiness, serenity, and hope.
