Eli5 Why do we find 'things' beautiful. Not people, I get the logic behind finding a person, a 'mate' attractive. But a sunset, a pretty flower, a super car... Why? What is the logic / reasoning for finding these 'things' beautiful...

This is an area of active research so we can’t give you a definitive “why“. One thought is that when we see images that are easily scannable we find them pleasing. 

Symmetry and landscape orientation are key. 

It’s thought to provide an evolutionary advantage if we can easily scan scenes or objects when looking for food, predators, prey, etc. It really doesn’t matter whether it’s an object or a landscape, both are images on the back of our eyes.
