The serenity of mountains, the whir of the oceans, the mystery of the woods, nature is a world of secrets and hidden messages it leaves behind for us to pick up on. Like Ian Somerhalder says “The trees are our lungs, the rivers our circulation. We are all interconnected.” We are intrinsically in tune with our natural surroundings and our roots extend deep, right back to where we began – in nature.
These beautiful images of heart-shaped natural wonders from around the world show that nature has been reciprocating our love all this while, we just need to stop and look around.
