When I think about the water element's relationship to nature, I imagine landscapes representing a winter scene, mountains and streams but ones that also include a sense of security and ease, also blue skies with beautiful clouds, maybe nature images with morning dew, or sunset over the ocean. Or, a still photography of a library with candlelight.
