Captured near the summit of Pico do Arieiro in Madeira's central massif, this image features the bleached skeletal remains of Tree Heath (Erica arborea), creating a stark 'ghost forest' likely resulting from past wildfires. The high-altitude vantage point overlooks deep volcanic valleys and a dramatic cloud inversion layer sitting above the Atlantic Ocean.
