This atmospheric image captures the twisted branches of an ancient Til tree (Ocotea foetens) within the UNESCO-protected Laurisilva forest of Fanal, Madeira. Heavy mist envelops the gnarled limbs, which are thickly coated in epiphytic mosses and ferns, creating a mystical cloud forest environment typical of the Paul da Serra plateau.
