I think satisfying pics have got to be one of the most underrated photography genres out there. There’s nothing better than getting yourself lost in the relaxation that comes with one of them.
And, as you’ll see in this list, they come in so many different ways! A clean pool, an interesting pattern, something that’s just really smooth. It’s all awesome .
“This surprisingly pleasant Amazon delivery photo of my front door.”

I bet the Amazon delivery driver could moonlight as a photographer. Like, this is such a pleasing pic to look at. It’s almost making me feel bad about the state of my front porch…
“This house matches the cars, or vice-versa.”

Sure, houses that are painted loud colors like this tend to be tacky. But there’s something really pleasing about the way the cars match the house’s exterior. In a way, it’s actually kind of pretty.
“Philippine 1000 peso bank note is badass lookin.”

You know what? It does look pretty badass. And also just pretty. I think because it looks pretty newly minted, and new bills from pretty much every country look super nice.
“Opened a pack of Fruit Gummies and only got the good ones.”

This is definitely a lot better than a pack full of the flavor you don’t like. Though for me, if this was all purple, I’d be in heaven.
“My little sister makes paper cranes and made this really tiny paper crane. I hung the normal sized one up and put my small one on the wing!”

I have to say, these are pretty impressive. Especially the little tiny one!
“Cappuccino Foam Force Field.”

This is satisfying in a way that’s really hard to explain. But I’m sure you know what I mean.
In any case, I literally can’t stop staring at this pic! It’s kind of a shame OP probably already drank it all…
“Gave the hedges a little haircut.”

Nothing like a satisfying before and after to get you in the mood for some spring cleaning. I suddenly have the urge to dump everything in a pile in my room and organize it intricately.
“The way I wrote standard: it’s the standard of satisfaction.”

Writing in cursive can be tricky to begin with, let alone writing neatly . This is honestly kind of beautiful. I could cry (but don’t worry, I won’t cry).
“I saw a rainbow from above the clouds today, and it has a face in the middle.”

I sort of see the face, but to be honest I’m kind of distracted by the rainbow itself. Like, seeing one from the top of clouds? That sounds awesome.
“I left some salt water in a dish for a week, and some nice crystals formed inside it.”

I’m not going to pretend to understand the science behind this, but I kind of don’t have to. Big salt crystals are cool, and that’s all I need to know.
“Perfectly separated layers of this candy bar.”

I mean, if you’re going to split the layers of a candy bar, you might as well do it super neatly. Why? No real reason. But let’s be honest: it looks pretty cool.
“The stacking of these ice cream cones.”

Oh man, now that’s super satisfying. The only bad thing about arrangements like this is knowing that someone’s gonna come by and ruin the whole thing by taking one. Or two. Or ten.
“This tree has half white and half pink flowers.”

I think this is satisfying to look at because it’s just so pleasing. And, like, it’s a bunch of blossoms on a tree, so it kind of makes sense.
“Close-up shots make the White Cliffs of Dover look like an alien landscape.”

Okay, now this is insanely cool! And it’s actually super satisfying, too. Though, I probably wouldn’t want to try walking around here. Even if it is cool and otherworldly.
“This blossom on my camellia bush.”

I just love looking at flowers. They’re either all weird and deformed, which is cool, or they’re neat and symmetrical, which is also cool. You literally can’t lose when looking at a pretty flower!
“The way the tape lines up on these boxes.”

Sometimes, it’s the little things that get you through the day. Like the tape on these boxes, which are surprisingly uniform. I bet they went through a box assembly factory or something.
“A melted pen.”

Even though this is super weird, it’s also really satisfying. I guess because it such a smooth, perfect-looking curve. Even though this was definitely not supposed to happen, it kind of makes me wish all pens were curved (even if that would be a horrible idea).
“One hour of pool treatment and cleaning.”

Whether you clean your car, trim your hedges, or get all the algae out of your pool, a before and after is always gonna feel really satisfying. Even for the people who didn’t do all that!
“These patterns appeared on top of a coconut oil jar.”

Oh man, now that’s super cool! Coconut oil is kind of a mystery to me; it seems to meld and solidify at random. But if my jar made this kind of design, I’d probably never use it again (unless it melted).
“An iridescent cloud I saw a while back.”

See, there are so many ways rainbows can look cool. Classic rainbows, of course. And rainbows you see while in an airplane (on top of the clouds!).
And then there’s something like this, which looks like it’s straight out of another world. So amazing!
