Have you ever heard of the phrase, “aesthetically pleasing”? It’s a phrase people use when something is just nice to look at. It gives us a sense of satisfaction and allurement, all at the same time.

It’s hard to describe why a photo might be aesthetically pleasing. There’s just something inexplicable about it that’s oddly satisfying and sometimes even calming. In fact, there’s an entire subreddit group on Reddit dedicated to people sharing photos they find satisfying to look at.
