Beautiful Places in Europe

This is a small collection of photographs I've found while surfing the Internet. They show beautiful places that seem almost magical. Just looking at them puts a smile on my face, so I thought it'd be nice to share them. I'll also make posts about the other continents soon.

1. Foxley Wood

A gorgeous ancient woodland in Norfolk, England. It's believed that the wood is over six thousand years old. It's known for, among other things, the Bluebell flowers that grow in it.

2. Château de Chenonceau

An exquisite castle built on the river Cher in France. The castle and the water that surrounds it look like they naturally belong together. Note how beautifully the water reflects the architecture.

4. Monet's Garden

Monet's garden at Givenry, France, looks like it's taken out of a fairy tale. Claude Monet had a great passion for nature and gardens and he himself designed his own garden, which he later enjoyed painting.

10. Neuschwanstein Castle

It's located in Bavaria, Germany. If you think it looks kind of like a Disney castle, then it's probably because the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland was actually inspired by it.

Obviously, these aren't the only beautiful places in Europe. But they're certainly pleasing to the eye and they all have something special about them.
