As a child I grew up reading and watching a whole lot of fairytale inspired books and movies, though to most children's disappointment these things never come true. For example where are all the trolls from Per Gynt's forests? Or what about the perfect Disney worlds? And why won't I ever see the fairies hiding in a world behind the stone with a key-shaped whole in it?
Don't get me wrong, I have always appreciated the beauty of our world, but the fact that I have these magical descriptions in my head but nowhere to find them, is saddening.
This was until I got my camera and decided to capture our wonderful world in it's prime glory. If you just slow down and look around you, you'll start seeing the most beautiful details on our earth. Everything from the sun setting in a dark forest to snails resting on a petal, you'll discover that we are pretty damn lucky to live in a place like this.
So with no more further ado, these are some of my photos proving that we don't have to look for anything beyond what we've already got. The tales we are growing up with are always based on something, and that something is the beauty we experience on this planet.

To start the show of, this is my heaven on earth. I took the photo while visiting my grandparents in the north of Sweden and the Colors do the picture the justice it deserves. The flag of this place is blue, green and white, do I need to say more?
Our wonderful world has a sky which is the most beautiful thing.
The sky has a sun which let's us watch it while settling behind the mountains.
It also gives us a peak while lowering through the autumn colourd woods.
Without the sun, we wouldn't have sunsets making the sea purple.
Or lakes reflecting it's golden color.
If it wasn't for our sky we wouldn't have rain.
Or snow.
If we didn't have the four different stages of seasons, we wouldn't have the colourful blooming during spring.

If it wasn't for our planet, we wouldn't have little creatures like this lurking around.
Or bigger beings with horns like this.
Or what about our very graceful personalities living on the seas.
Speaking of seas, what would our world be without these wonders?
A place without calm.
No sound of waves crashing against cliffwalls.
No beaches with sea bluer than the sky.
Nor a place where you go when the sun is just a bit too hot.
Though we can't forget about the woods that cover around thirty percentage of our earth.
A magical place which has inspired most of today's fairytales.
Not only with it's luminous green Colors.
But with it's mystical glades in the middle of the dark woods.
These green areas grow poisonous little things.
Eatable little things.
Beautiful little things.
Tiny little living things.
This is a place where people go to seek their inner peace.
Or get tired off and leave for newer destinations.
Like these colourful mountains for example.
Or for the less coloured, but more breathtaking heights.
Then there are the ones that would rather stay in the very green valleys.
Hiking with sheep.
Or maybe you just prefer to stay in the country side and take it all in your own pace.
Go picking flowers all day.
No matter what color.
These things are part of the beauty of our earth.
And so is the grass, which let's us walk barefoot on in during summer days.
For me, some of the most relaxing things to do is to pick stones and shells along the beach..
Or sit by the sea and watch the sun go down.
Either way our planet is wonderful in every way, but when there just isn't enough magic in the nature we sometimes have to take things in our own hands and build stuff like this.
