I have traveled through much of the United States and parts of Europe. I have seen many, many beautiful places (the Seirra Nevada mountains, the Grand Canyon, the Great Lakes, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, southern England, southern France, and the list goes on....)...but there is nothing, nothing that compares to the beauty and magnificence of Norway. I can say with 100% confidence that Norway, with its mountains, fjords, forests, rivers, lakes, etc. is the most beautiful place on Earth.
Now I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder...I know that every person defines natural beauty in different ways and what is beautiful to me may not be to someone else. And I respect that...I respect other opinions...but for me, Norway takes the cake. I can take as many pictures as I like (and believe me I took a lot), I can try and describe the beauty with big eloquent words, but nothing will do it justice. There is nothing that can truly capture what it looks like as you drive up a windy mountain road, past the tree line, turn the corner and are presented with a serene, truly serene natural lake....and the best part is, it keeps happening. Maybe it was just the part of Norway where we were, but it seemed like around every bend there was a magnificent view, lake, mountaintop on the horizon, winding river, etc. It was ridiculous. I am sure I sounded like a broken record ("WOW!", "This is SO cool!", etc). There weren't enough adjectives to describe it all...
So I am going to stick to one...beautiful.
