Natural Images

The definition of Nature depends on one's perspective. Today, 84% of U.S. Citizens live in urban areas. Seeing concrete and steel day-in and day-out could be - in part - cause for increased anxiety and stress.

The images in this gallery are of the Natural World. They were selected for the natural beauty contained within the borders of each image. Nature instills within the very core of our being a sense of calm, relaxation, lower anxiety, lower stress, and a deeper sense of well-being.

Buy several. Enjoy.
