The Etherial Fanal Forest in Madeira (OC) 1250 × 832

Here is a batch of photos that I took in the Fanal Forest last September in Madeira.

The Fanal Forest is an ethereal experience with ancient, moss-covered laurel trees, ancient, moss-covered laurel trees, these centuries-old trees are famous for their gnarled, twisted shapes, often shrouded in thick fog, creating a magical, and surreal landscape.

I wish that we had more time here, one of the downsides of seeing it through a multi-stop tour.

The roads on the island are extremely steep and tight and my wife and I weren't quite comfortable with the idea of driving and navigating this - so most of what we did was through smaller group tours.
