fairy tale

If forests and woodlands are your thing, and you grew up reading books by Beatrix Potter and believing that fairies possibly (probably) dwell in the forests, have a look at the photos below. They are beautiful photos of the animals that live in woodlands, and these nature photographers really captured the magical feelings of the forests. If you're after some more beautiful nature photography, have a look at these whimsical photos of squirrels. 

Snow and ice have always possessed a mystical quality, which is perhaps is what makes Iceland such a captivating destination. New York City-based photographer and filmmaker Drew Doggett, managed to capture a sliver of this magic in his new photo series 'In the Realm of Legends', which he describes on his website: " Set against the dreamlike backdrop of Iceland's waterfalls, black sand beaches and snowy tundras, this series highlights the relationship between a noble yet rugged breed of horses and the challenging landscape they've written into their DNA".

Sometimes fairy tales are dangerously misleading.
