I tend to move through life in a huge hurry. I’m always rushing out the door on the verge of being late for work and speed-walking to the bus stop.

Art imitates life. And if you look closely enough, art also is life. The photos from this list prove that there can be beauty in the most mundane and random moments if we’re open-minded enough to see it. Haven’t you ever had to take a moment and just stare at the sky in awe after noticing a stunning sunset or amazing rainbow? Or what about a full moon that captivates the attention of everyone out for a stroll on a winter evening?

And if you’re wondering how to start spotting art in your everyday life, Total Balance has some suggestions. First, they recommend slowing down. It’s hard to notice details when you’re constantly rushing all the time. But if you start walking slower on your commute to work, look up from your phone when sitting on the train or stop to have a short conversation with the barista at your favorite coffee shop, you might suddenly become aware of how much beauty surrounds you all the time.
