Description
Nestled in the northwestern mountains of Madeira, Portugal, lies the mystical Fanal Forest, with its unique and ancient Laurel trees and fairytale-like atmosphere, especially when fog creeps in and shrouds the famous mystically shaped trees. This stunning UNESCO site is part of the Laurissilva Forest in the greater Madeira Natural Park and sits at an altitude of around 1,150 meters. Fanal is an ideal place to enjoy moments of contemplation and relaxation - this area is classified as a 'Rest and Quiet Reserve' by the Madeira Natural Park.
Wander through the fog-draped hiking trails, marvel at the moss-covered trees, and experience the ethereal calm of the Fanal Forest, Madeira.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
