I constantly come across excellent designs that feature various elements of nature and I’ve been collecting samples for a while now. Some use photos and others use illustration. Some feature bright skies and clouds, and others feature mountains, water, or grass. Feel free to list your favorites in the comments.

Excellent collection. I love finding websites with natural elements like these. I’d have to say my favorite is the second one (Adit Shukla’s).

I wish we could vote on which one of these is our favorite. The Anchorage, Alaska website has the nicest look to me. I was lucky enough to travel around Alaska by cruise last year and could not beleive how beautiful the area was.
Wasn’t a big fan of all of the jewelry shops littered around all of the cruise stops but then again, I’m used to buying preowned jewelry from trusted dealers than at some cruise port.
