A mermaid has not an immortal soul, nor can she obtain one unless she wins the love of a human being...

Die Prinzessin auf der Erbse
Es war einmal ein Prinz, der wollte eine Prinzessin heiraten; aber es sollte eine wirkliche Prinzessin sein. Da reiste er in der ganzen Welt herum, um eine solche zu finden, aber überall war etwas im Wege. Prinzessinnen gab es genug, aber ob es wirkliche Prinzessinnen waren, konnte er nicht herausbringen. Immer war etwas, was nicht so ganz in der Ordnung war. Da kam er denn wieder nach Hause und war ganz traurig, denn er wollte doch so gern eine wirkliche Prinzessin haben.
Eines Abends zog ein schreckliches Gewitter auf; es blitzte und donnerte, der Regen strömte herunter, es war ganz entsetzlich! Da klopfte es an das Stadtthor, und der alte König ging hin, um aufzumachen.
Es war eine Prinzessin, die draußen vor dem Tore stand. Aber, o Gott! wie sah die von dem Regen und dem bösen Wetter aus! Das Wasser lief ihr von den Haaren und Kleidern herunter; es lief in die Schnäbel der Schuhe hinein und an den Hacken wieder heraus. Und doch sagte sie, daß sie eine wirkliche Prinzessin sei.
"Ja, das werden wir schon erfahren!" dachte die alte Königin. Aber sie sagte nichts, ging in die Schlafkammer hinein, nahm alle Betten ab und legte eine Erbse auf den Boden der Bettstelle; darauf nahm sie zwanzig Matratzen und legte sie auf die Erbse, und dann noch zwanzig Eiderdunen-Betten oben auf die Matratzen.
Da mußte nun die Prinzessin die ganze Nacht liegen. Am Morgen wurde sie gefragt, wie sie geschlafen habe.
"O, erschrecklich schlecht!" sagte die Prinzessin. "Ich habe meine Augen fast die ganze Nacht nicht geschlossen! Gott weiß, was da im Bette gewesen ist! Ich habe auf etwas Hartem gelegen, so daß ich ganz braun und blau über meinen ganzen Körper bin! Es ist ganz entsetzlich!"
Nun sahen sie ein, daß es eine wirkliche Prinzessin war, da sie durch die zwanzig Matratzen und die zwanzig Eiderdunen-Betten hindurch die Erbse verspürt hatte. So empfindlich konnte Niemand sein, als eine wirkliche Prinzessin.
Da nahm der Prinz sie zur Frau, denn nun wußte er, daß er eine wirkliche Prinzessin besitze; und die Erbse kam auf die Kunstkammer, wo sie noch zu sehen ist, wenn Niemand sie gestohlen hat.
Sieh, das war eine wahre Geschichte.

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more. - Lord Byron

The village of Tällberg is well known for its hotels and long tradition of welcoming guests to the beautiful surroundings and view of Lake Siljan, the largest lake in Dalarna.
Hans Christian Andersen lost his heart here in 1850 and enjoyed the quietness. From a farm village this village grew a lot, mainly in summer, to become a touristic hotspot. Still there are a lot of authentic houses.
Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!

Did a double exposure image of the yellow brick road, floating legs of the Tin Woodman and tea from the Mad Hatter.
Then discovered that I was inventing a whole new fairy tale.
I was so sure that Alice walked down that road.
Turned out it was Dorothy :-)
Moved on to something a little simpler.
The Ugly Duckling is on the fairytale list provided by the moderators.
The length of the deco eggs is 1 inch.
Located just 30 km from Lisbon, the town of Sintra seems to take you to a different world. Every year thousands of visitors come to admire its artistic and cultural heritage, just as European royalty and writers such as Lord Byron (“the glorious Eden!”), Hans Christian Andersen and Luís Camões did before them. Last year it was my turn.
Today is the 24th Valentine's day of February, and what better time to share my love of travel? Through travel, one learns how other people live, their traditions, lifestyles, climate, food, arts, and many new and interesting ways to live and look at life somewhat differently. Travel gives one a whole new education.

The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
A Strip of Blue
Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
I do not own an inch of land,
But all I see is mine, –
The orchard and the mowing fields,
The lawns and gardens fine.
The winds my tax-collectors are,
They bring me tithes divine, –
Wild scents and subtle essences,
A tribute rare and free;
And, more magnificent than all,
My window keeps for me
A glimpse of blue immensity, –
A little strip of sea.
Richer am I than he who owns
Great fleets and argosies;
I have a share in every ship
Won by the inland breeze,
To loiter on yon airy road
Above the apple-trees,
I freight them with my untold dreams;
Each bears my own picked crew;
And nobler cargoes wait for them
Than ever India knew, –
My ships that sail into the East
Across that outlet blue.
Sometimes they seem like living shapes, –
The people of the sky, –
Guests in white raiment coming down
From heaven, which is close by;
I call them by familiar names,
As one by one draws nigh,
So white, so light, so spirit-like,
From violet mists they bloom!
The aching wastes of the unknown
Are half reclaimed from gloom,
Since on life’s hospitable sea
All souls find sailing-room.
The ocean grows a weariness
With nothing else in sight;
Its east and west, its north and south,
Spread out from morn till night;
We miss the warm, caressing shore,
Its brooding shade and light.
Not all those who wander are lost.
J.R.R. Tolkien
To travel is to live.
Hans Christian Andersen
Take only memories, leave only footprints.
Chief Seattle
Do not follow where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.
Cesare Pavese
Travel early and travel often. Live abroad, if you can. Understand cultures other than your own. As your understanding of other cultures increases, your understanding of yourself and your own culture will increase exponentially.
Tom Freston
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.
Maya Angelou
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
La façade est de la maison natale d'Andersen toute jaune qui est située au Hans Jensens Stræde 45 à Odense, île de Fionie, Syddanmark ou Danemark du Sud.
Une vue à partir de la rue Bangs Boder.
La maison fait aujourd’hui partie d’un musée sur Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) et se trouve juste en face du magasin Klods Hans, au Hans Jensens Stræde 34, une boutique de souvenirs dédiés à Andersen.
Odense est une commune de la région du Danemark du Sud dont elle est la capitale. Troisième ville du Danemark, elle est située sur l'île de Fionie. La fondation de la ville date d'avant 988, ce qui en fait une des plus anciennes cités du Danemark. L'étymologie de son nom qui signifie "Ville consacrée à Odin " atteste de son existence à l'époque viking. Selon la légende, un conquérant venu d'Orient aurait bâti cette cité en tant que capitale de son futur empire en Scandinavie. Il avait pour nom, "Odin", dieu dont il aurait pris le nom.
Aujourd’hui, elle est surtout connue comme la ville natale de Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) dont on peut visiter le musée installé dans sa maison d'enfance. On peut visiter aussi la cathédrale Saint-Knud qui accueille quelques tombes de la dynastie royale danoise.

FIORI DI CAMPO
Vivere non basta...ci vuole il sole, la libertà e un piccolo fiore.
"I'm like a collection of sensitivities," KiraKira told me once, "I've always been."
At that moment, it occurred to me. That night, the sudden storm when she arrived at my door for the first time, looking so exhausted... The sweet smile on her face despite the pain in her right eye while picking poppies... Always seeing the most vibrant of colors, hearing the nonexistent of sounds, smelling the faintest of scents... And of course, feeling the deepest of emotions.
So I was not surprised at all, seeing her lying on an endless bunch of mattresses one day. "I feel it, definitely" she whispered and smiled: "The pea. I feel the pea, and it almost hurts."
My sweet KiraKira, you would be an amazing princess in another realm, for sure. But I won't let you go. Ever.
Der Nyhavn (dänisch für „neuer Hafen“) ist ein zentraler Hafen in der dänischen Hauptstadt Kopenhagen und eine der wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt.
Der 1673 fertiggestellte Kanal Nyhavn wurde in Auftrag gegeben, um einen Stichkanal vom Kopenhagener Hafen zum Platz Kongens Nytorv zu schaffen. Die farbenfrohen Giebelhäuser an beiden Seiten des kleinen Hafenarms entstanden vorwiegend im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert. Das Hafenmilieu brachte frühzeitig zahlreiche Tavernen hervor, und die Gegend ist bis heute mit ihren vielen Restaurants, Bierstuben und Tanzlokalen neben der Istedgade eines der bekanntesten Vergnügungsviertel Kopenhagens. Hafenrundfahrten und Museumsschiffe erinnern an die Zeit als Handelshafen, deren Bedeutung dem 400 Meter langen und drei Meter tiefen Kanal spätestens Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts abhanden ging. Der Märchendichter Hans Christian Andersen zählte zeitweise zu den Bewohnern Nyhavns, an dessen Ende sich das Schloss Charlottenborg befindet.

In Helsingør, North Zealand, you can find the shiny metal statue of the Merman Han, who sits on a rock looking out to sea. Han's reflective pose echoes the Little Mermaid's statue in Copenhagen, and he could easily be her little brother. The statue could embody the personal melancholy that Hans Christian Andersen expressed in his Little Mermaid story. Andersen wrote the fairytale in 1836 after suffering the deep heartache of unrequited love for his close friend, Edvard Collin. Whatever your interpretation, Han is quite literally in a state of permanent reflection, and it is said that if you stay with him long enough, you might glimpse him winking at you.

Happy Smile on Saturday. This very little mermaid is sitting pretty on a silk painting of sea creatures I painted long ago. She is on secondment from the toy box!
Sotto le onde calme, Ariel osserva il mondo sopra di lei. I riflessi del sole danzano sulla superficie dell'acqua, mentre la spiaggia si estende in un abbraccio di sabbia e verde vegetazione. Le case brillano nel calore estivo, promettendo una vita di avventure e libertà. Il suo cuore desidera ardentemente quel mondo, lontano dai limiti dell'oceano. Con un sospiro, sogna di lasciare il suo regno, per scoprire la bellezza della vita sulla terraferma...
I confess I didn't know the fairy tale when I was a child, but I bought this little porcelain doll about 20 years ago from a very talented (Jane Davies) and remembered being told that she's called The Little Match Girl. I later found out that the story was written by the Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen and was first published in 1845. It's not exactly what you'd call a happy-ever-after tale. An odd choice of subject, perhaps, for a group called Smile on Saturday, but I don't know many fairy tales. Not official ones anyway, although I'm sure I'm told a few. :)
For this week's Smile on Saturday group theme, Portray a Fairy Tale.
