Artist's description:
In the middle of the Laurisilva forest of Fanal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands a tree that looks like something out of a fairytale book with its gnarled shape and moss-covered branches: the so-called witch tree.
This ancient laurel tree is one of the many impressive trees that grow in this misty forest area. However, the witch tree stands out in particular due to its spooky shapes. Its branches twist towards the sky like dancing shadows, covered in mosses and lichens that give it an enchanted appearance. Dense fog often envelops the surroundings, adding to the mystical atmosphere and giving the impression of being in another world.
The witch tree is not only a popular subject for photographers, but also a place that stimulates the imagination. Local legends surround these ancient trees, which once bore witness to times gone by. It is said that Madeira's nature spirits are particularly present here and reward walkers who respectfully pass through the forest with a sense of peace and awe.
Fanal itself is a magical place that invites you to pause for a moment. The play of light between the trees, the silence interrupted only by the rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds, makes this place a perfect destination for nature lovers. The witch tree is one of the highlights and a symbol of Madeira's wild, untamed beauty.
