There is no doubt that humans have created some unbelievable works of art, be it paintings, beautiful buildings, pottery, or any other type of art. Still, some of the most moving and beautifully effortless works of art are the ones created by nature.

If you pay close attention, those beautiful things can be found all around us. Below, we have collected 16 photos of nature’s wonders to celebrate their beauty and uniqueness.
