Some people drive through Los Angeles and only see concrete and traffic. There is beauty all around--you just have to focus, and you paid attention. The canyon is gorgeous in a totally different way. I love deserts for the same reason. If you have eyes to see nature, the beauty is everywhere. I'm sure Sweden was and is a beautiful country. You have experienced several very different natural landscapes over your lifetime.
