I did not write an introduction yet, but that won't stop me from sharing posts with you, and this one might make you get to know me slightly better. I guess you could call me and my boyfriend for some kind of modern day woodelves. We met 13 years ago and decided to move into the woods together and lead a life inspired by fantasy and fairytales. So that is kind of what we did, besides all those not-as-romantic parts of adulting and that life in general can be freaking hard.
I firmly believe in following your passion and your calling, and for me that includes some kind of a fairytale homesteading-life trying to live in harmony with nature, living with animals, growing my trees as big as possible, raising healthy, happy and wise kids (not come that far yet unfortunately), inspiring others to follow their dreams and to care for the planet, as well as having fun and being creative which is also crucial to my wellbeing. That is one of the reasons why I still love dressing up. Honestly I don't really dress up, I just prefer to wear kind of unusal clothing. At least it was far from normal when I first started wearing them all those years ago. Only thing is, I don't normally wear elf ears, even though I really love them. I must admit I frequently put them on throughout the week when I'm at home though.
Anyways, here are part one of a photoshoot we did in a most wondrous valley half an hour from where we live. The place is simply imbued in magic and is one of my favorite places in the world. Here you can find big trees which are usually a rarity in Norway as people here have a long tradition of cutting down all the trees and never let them live more than a 100 years. So finding such a valley full of biological diversity is really refreshing. Also the valley has one of the tallest waterfalls in the world. A perfect place for elfing around and having adventures. Was running around in that valley for two days without meeting a single person, the only thing I found were a ring of solid gold which is now in my pocketses.
Oh wait, I told you it was a beautiful place, let me show you some landscape pictures I took that justifies it a bit more:
Do you have a place you love to visit and just be yours(elf)?
Do you think it is easy to follow your dreams in this world, even though those dreams are unusal and maybe kind of weird?
