Find Peace: Soothing Scenes For Mental Getaways
Get Healthy Living Alerts:
We all have a place we turn to for solace. Whether it is a physical location, a photo of a place once visited or an imagined space, having a destination to escape to is one of the best head-clearing exercises.
We asked you to submit photos of your peaceful places, and you came back to us with overwhelming scenes of beauty: bursting sunsets, mystical forests and luscious landscapes. We’d love to keep this prompt open, featuring a new peaceful place for all of us to escape to together.
Want to be part of this peace party? Send your photos and descriptions to GPS@huffingtonpost.com or tweet them to us @GPSforSoul with the hashtag #peacefulplace. We can’t wait to find peace with you!
