A prolonged period of staying indoors has given us a newfound appreciation for the outdoors. While most of us have a travel bucket list to fulfill after the ‘Circuit Breaker‘, this viral album might prompt you to revisit local destinations.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, this brilliant local photographer has once again shown us that a brand new perspective is always possible. If there’s anything good that’s coming out of staying indoors all the time, it’s that we have more bandwidth to consider how beautiful our nation truly is.
