What do you think is the most beautiful thing in the natural world??

For me it's waterfalls. The raw power of some just amaze me as much as the more gentler ones.

For me so many, I spend much time close to nature these days. Storm rolling down the mountainside, or just a simple as family of badgers playing. Waterfalls, changing of the colours of the trees in autumn.

Many of which I have been able to capture on film

I dream of standing underneath one! Splendid choice.

Little streams in the mountains filled with rocks. And beautiful woodland. And I'm happy. Water is my most favourite element. Cools my mind too.

Mushrooms and mycelium are absolutely fascinating breaking down oil spills and plastics ravaging our planet as well as sharing nutrients between trees and plants these are what humans should aspire to be helpful to other and the environment rather than disrespectful to it and daetroying it

You need to come visit Wales, we have waterfalls on beaches, waterfalls you can walk behind and we even have the waterfall of the batcave in dark night. All within driving distance of my house

All of the above I think... something truly grounding about being outside and able to take it in! I do love the power and force of nature as well, how as humans we just take and the misguided belief we are everything, yet the power of a storm is breathtaking, or that of the sea etc.

I'm slightly jealous of my daughter, 2 years ago she did a scout jamboree in West Virginia with 45000 other scouts, so it was a huge site set in the mountains and forests there. They had to be cautious of leaving food out because of the bears and one point was stranded on top of a mountain because of the storms going over, she got some amazing pictures of it and on her way there from New York they stopped at the Niagara falls... so all told, pretty amazing.

I am at my most happiest being near water...from the roar of Niagra falls to a little stream, I'm in heaven.

There's so much! I love clouds. And I love trees and the way when you sit in a glade, the air seems to shimmer with greenness, I love it in the summer when you get under a tree and there's that lovely patch of cool air and the smell of rain.

Waterfalls are amazing. For me though it’s the desolation of the Moon and the view of the Earth from space. I have a book of photos from the Apollo missions and the views are just staggering.

"Mushrooms and mycelium are absolutely fascinating breaking down oil spills and plastics ravaging our planet as well as sharing nutrients between trees and plants these are what humans should aspire to be helpful to other and the environment rather than disrespectful to it and daetroying it "

Humans are exactly like mycelium, we take what we can get wherever we find it and deliberately give nutrients and water to other organisms in order to benefit ourselves. We love to see ourselves as somehow different to, and separate from the rest of nature when we aren't. We tell ourselves that nature lives in harmony and humans pollute and destroy it when there is plenty of evidence that "nature" will exploit any and every opportunity it can. Get the right conditions and locusts will swarm leaving a trail of death, destruction and starvation in their wake as bad as anything humans have done. Are we capable of upsetting preexisting environmental webs of life? Sure we are. Does that make us bad and the rest of nature pure and good? Of course not. Let's not forget that it is mycelium that invade an ants body, control its actions till it climbs to the end of a branch, makes it clamp its jaws on a leaf stem then erupts from its head in a flowering body so that its spores rain down on new victims below.

To answer the OP, I find all kinds of things beautiful. The wildness of a hail storm sweeping across bleak moorland, the night sky ablaze with stars, a stormy sea with waves crashing 50 metres up cliff faces, warm sunny forest with the buzz of insects and the calls of birds all around, tiny hidden worlds in rock pools, the flash of a school of fish while snorkeling, an otter hunting along a shore. I just love the outdoors.

I’m drawn to the sea irrespective of weather.. theres is something calming about the waves crashing on the shore, or the soft lol as it sweeps the sands…

Woodlands.. especially when it’s raining and windy. Autumn when the leaves are crunching under foot!

The Grand Canyon has to be one of the most impressive natural phenomena I have ever experienced. The sheer scale, the history and everything about it. The colours of the rock and how they change with the sunrise and sunset. Walking into its depths just a short way in the intense heat with minimum shade so physically draining but emotionally exhilarating. Millions of years in the making it will be here long after we are gone.

Quartz, from which comes silica (silicon dioxide), and then silicon, and ultimately microelectronics, which are being used right now on this machine to type this reply, post it across multiple routers through numerous switches and routers (all using microelectronics), to arrive at a server and be stored, for you to read on a machine using silicon microelectronics...

That to me is the most wonderful aspect of Nature. Nature in its purest form is maths incarnate. Everything in the universe is maths. Emotions are maths at a biological level (no matter how much we dress them up as otherwise). A beautiful waterfall ? Fluid dynamics. A stunning sunrise ? Light refraction. It's all Science. And Science is Beauty.

So for me, the most beautiful thing in nature is maths, with silicon/quartz being neck and neck. To be honest, silicon probably edges it now, since microelectronics underpin our very existence.

I drive a lot for work. So spotting a deer when driving through the new forest, is a big bonus. I always glance at the red kites on the M4, shame I can't get out of the car and watch them for a bit.

Water.

It is amazing.

Two molecules of hydrogen with one molecule of oxygen.

It has a freezing point and a boiling point that doesn't require complicated equipment.

It is one of the few things that can both kill us and keep us alive.

It is unusual that when it reaches a temperature cold enough to solidify, it becomes less dense. If it didn't ice would sink and eventually all the water on Earth would have solidified well before we had the chance to make an appearance.

It has the power to soothe, when at the right temperature.

It has the power to destroy, when Tsunami hits, few things can hold it back.

Even a simple trickle of water, over time, can wear a mountain down.

Without water, you'd never see a rainbow, a stream, a waterfall, the oceans.

Without water, life itself could not be.
