The cool mountain air, far from the hustle and bustle of urban areas, in a corner of the earth that still holds the charm of stunning natural beauty, lies an amazing natural beauty. The fresh aroma of the mountains complemented by the melodious songs of birds transports the soul to a place full of peace.For a moment, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, grateful for how lucky I was to still be able to enjoy the natural beauty of His creation. While smiling, I started to walk closer to the sound of water blowing in the wind between the towering mountain trees. The beautiful view of the lake supported by the bright, friendly morning atmosphere made me even more curious to get closer to it
