Research suggests that viewing pictures of nature can lower stress levels — so if you're feeling overwhelmed today for any reason, take a look at these prizewinning waterfall images from @Smithsonianmag, which show a sunset over Niagara Falls, a dramatic black-and-white shot of Skogafoss falls in Iceland, and a maple-leaf-sprinkled shot from Canada.
