You are here for some beautiful pictures of nature that will make you feel good about our planet and its beautiful scenery.

More than other photography genres, such as photojournalism and documentary photography, nature photos put usually a stronger emphasis on the aesthetic value of the image.

Apart from this difference, nature pictures will always be more surprising than any other type of photos.

Nature, with all its unspoiled resources, creates far more beautiful scenery than artificial man-made creations.

Amazing and beautiful images of nature

Kochia Hill, Hitachinaka City, Japan

The scrubby little kochia plants, otherwise known as summer cypress, are not much to look at for most of the year, but at the end of the wet season they take on an extraordinary brilliant red color, lending them the name “Burning bush.”

In Hitachinaka City, at the Hitachi Seaside Park, a vast stretch of rolling hills is jam-packed with the vivid crimson bushes that sway with the breeze, with whimsical Oz-like roads winding throughout.

Outside of the park, kochia is more often gathered for the more mundane purpose of making brooms, but the park takes advantage of how spectacular it can be when planted in such abundance. Such pictures of nature make you appreciate every single plant even more.
