Landscape and Nature: Intimate Landscapes

While the expansive panoramas of the natural world will always capture our attention, sometimes it is the delicate details within those scenes that are the most impressive. The passing of waves around a rock, the texture of the sand on a secluded beach, or the delicate veins in the surrounding foliage all enhance our experience of the world around us.
