Ancient Til Trees (Ocotea foetens) in Fanal Forest Fog
This atmospheric image captures the ancient Til trees (Ocotea foetens) of the Fanal Forest, a prime example of Madeira's UNESCO-listed Laurissilva ecosystem. The twisted, gnarled branches of these centuries-old trees are shrouded in thick mist, creating a mystical silhouette characteristic of this high-altitude plateau. Located in the northwestern part of the island, this area is renowned for its perpetual fog and distinctively shaped, moss-covered vegetation.
