Mother nature is and remains the greatest artist. When she reaches for a brush, Monet, Picasso and Co. can pack up, because compared to the colors of nature every supposed masterpiece is dreary and gray: Colorful animals, lush green plants and sparkling gemstones make every painting fade and surprise us every day. And anyone who claims that flora and fauna always look the same will be taught otherwise by pigment disorders such as albinism and melanism.
Exciting and inspiring videos that make you think. (Scroll down to the article.)
The nice thing is that we don’t have to pay an entrance fee to admire these masterpieces of nature. Animal pictures and nature photos like the following make you astonished again and again at the splendor of colors that surrounds us.
