Get outside. It makes You happy! This L.A. Times piece highlights an interesting study carried out by psychologists from the University of Rochester.

Subjects were shown sets of images and were then immediately asked a set of questions.  Those that had seen images of natural environments held community and family values higher than those that had seen man made enviroments.
