Be transported to a place you’d rather be with a stunning collection of the best outdoor views from around the world.

An elegant hammock overlooking the pristine, sun-kissed vistas of Queensland, Australia. A pair of rocking chairs perched on a deck above Penobscot Bay in coastal Maine.

A secluded patio filled with lush greenery and blooms in a California backyard. And a late autumn sunset seen from a balcony nestled among the trees in the village of Nuwakot, Nepal.

Photographs are paired with porch-themed literary passages that complete the fantasy of being curled up with a good book and a frosty glass of lemonade.
