I'm curious why it's so relaxing to be in nature or to look at natural scenery. I think we evolved this way because it was an advantage to be very familiar with our territory. It was important to know where to find the most effective paths, escape routes, shelters, and food, etc; so the more time one spent learning his surroundings, the greater his chance of survival to an extent. So this is why I think we have that little "pleasure circuit" hardwired into our brains that gets activated when we look at natural scenery.
