STORY BEHIND THE SHOT Centuries-old branches twist and weave in a silent, graceful tangle, draped in a lush carpet of moss. The Do Fanal forest, a UNESCO World Heritage site on Madeira Island, is a sanctuary of life, where ancient laurel trees form a green cathedral bathed in golden light.
This mystical forest is a remnant of the primeval laurel forests that once blanketed southern Europe millions of years ago, now preserved in Madeira’s unique microclimate.
These forests are not only reservoirs of biodiversity but also living witnesses of Earth’s ancient past, holding lessons for a sustainable future.
