Nature has a way of making our problems feel small and insignificant, an incredible view can change our whole perspective on life. While in Moab, Utah for a March photo shoot adventure, photographer Jerry Patterson captured a shot of the Milky Way through the arches of beautiful sandstone monuments (above). He calls the photo Stargazing Through a Window. Then there’s Max Rive who’s known for taking incredible self-portraits in Iceland. Standing on top of teetering rocks, he shows us the vast beauty of Iceland’s landscapes. Here are 18 of our favorite photos taken around the world of people awestruck by the beauty of nature.
