There's no better way to de-stress than seeing a bunch of good photos.

1.Northern Lights

This picture looks breathtaking, isn't it? It shows full-blown northern lights in action. As you know, northern lights or Aurora Borealis is a display of colored lights in the sky that appears when the solar wind disturbs Earth's magnetosphere. Only a few lucky countries in the world such as Norway, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, United Kingdom, etc. can witness this nature's laser show! The colors of aurora can be anything from red to green. Next time when you travel to countries that live near the North Pole, don't forget to see the beautiful phenomenon live in the sky.

2.Havasupai Waterfalls, Grand Canyon

What a beautiful spot! Who doesn't want to spend their holiday at a place like this? The 90-foot-long Havasupai Waterfalls is a beautiful and little-known attraction of Grand Canyon. Also known as Havasu Waterfalls, this natural fountain is located 1.5 miles from Supai, a CDP within Grand Canyon that has a population of approximately 200, mostly Native Indians. Visitors need to hike roughly eight miles to reach the waterfalls. This place is known for its blue-colored water, which you can see in the picture.  Not everyone can visit Havasu Waterfalls, but once arrived at the place, the locals are more than happy to help the visitors.

3.Sea Robin

What on earth is that thing?!  That is definitely not a bird or butterfly, and as one can see, it's just a bottom-feeding fish. We are sure that many people might not have seen this fish before, so here it is. The name of this fish is Sea Robin, and it is also called gurnard in many parts of the world.  Though orange-colored gurnards aren't rare, they are seen in less number compared to the gray ones. These fishes are edible, and they are among the cheapest fishes in the United States and the United Kingdom. Sea Robins are often used to make soups and stews due to the hardness of their flesh.

4.Asian Terrace Rice Fields

This picture looks like it was taken in an entirely different universe! Every nature lover badly wants to visit this place for at least once in their lifetime. What you see in the photo is a cluster of terrace rice fields in Vietnam. Terrace farming is a common agricultural practice in many Asian countries like Vietnam, Thailand, China, Japan, Northeast India, etc. It allows farmers to grow crops in uncultivable landscapes like mountains and hilly regions. Did you know that nine out of top ten rice-producing countries in the world are Asian? Brazil is the only non-Asian country on the list, and it takes the tenth spot.

5.This Dog That Has Caught A Frisbee Ring Underwater

It is a unique-looking picture, and we must appreciate photographer Seth Casteel for taking such a beautiful photo. Seth is an American professional photographer who rose to fame a few years ago with his unique underwater pet photographs. His photographs went viral, and in no time, he struck a photo book deal with a leading American book publisher. Casteel says he does this kind of underwater pet photo shoots because he is obsessed with dogs and cats. This guy also photographed babies underwater and published photo book named "Underwater Babies."

7.Earthrise From Moon

This picture that was taken by astronaut William Anders is often considered the most influential and powerful photo a human has ever taken. William took this earthrise photo in 1968 during the Apollo 8 mission. The photo shows how Earth looks like from the moon. Watching Earthrise from the moon should be a great feeling for the Apollo 8 astronaut team, isn't it? Nearly 40 years later, in 2008, Japan's moon orbiter SELENE recorded a 1080P HD Earthrise video. Astronomy is an amazing subject; the universe around us has hidden some deep, dark, and fascinating secrets! 

8.A Buddhist Monk With A Tiger

This photo proves how one can win over even the hearts of wild animals with love. It was taken at the famous Tiger Temple in Thailand. Locally known as Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua Yanasampanno, the Tiger Temple was once a major tourist attraction of Thailand. Before the Thailand government decided to capture and relocate the Tigers in the temple in May 2016, the temple had approximately 150 Tigers living in its premises. The temple authorities would charge approximately $16 as the admission fee to let backpackers spend some time with those wild cats. The controversial tiger temple is now permanently closed. 

9.This Little Boy Playing Flute To A Cat

This awesome photo has peace and kindness written all over it. No people, no chaos, and all one can see in this picture is a lad who seems to be too young to understand the complicated world and the complexities of life. The little furry friend appears too impressed by the kid's music skills. Well, this is just the kind of photograph we need to see to take a quick break from everyday life stresses. If you are a musician, yes, we are aware that the musical instrument in the boy's hands isn't a flute but a recorder! Most people are unaware of recorder, though.

10.This Beautiful Picture Of Eiffel Tower

We have seen many Eiffel tower pictures before, but we don't think we saw one that was as beautiful as this photo. It was a great effort by the photographer. Of course, they clearly used a high-end camera, but we still need to appreciate them for their amazing scene composition skills. The photo surely didn't come straight out of the camera, as it looks edited. Remember, most photographs we see go through thousands of edits. Millions of people take photos of Eiffel Tower every year, but we are talking about only one here! That's exactly how a good picture differs from the rest.

12.Milky Way

If you love science, this photo of Milky Way galaxy impresses you right away. As you know, Milky Way is our home galaxy, and it houses more than 100 billion stars including the sun. Our galaxy is usually hard to find with the naked eye because of too much light around us. If you want to see or capture Milky Way, you need to go to a very dark place, preferably on the top of a hill. You also need to own a high-end digital camera that lets users take photographs with very long exposure times. If you got everything right, the result would be something like this beautiful picture.
