This atmospheric image captures a solitary, ancient Til tree (Ocotea foetens) standing amidst the dense fog of the Fanal Forest in Madeira. Part of the UNESCO-protected Laurisilva ecosystem, these gnarled, moss-covered trees are shaped by the constant trade winds and high humidity of the region. The misty backdrop highlights the silhouetted, twisted branches characteristic of this primeval subtropical cloud forest.
