Trees shaped by wind and weather. These ancient laurel trees have withstood the harsh elements for centuries. Fierce resistance has created their form, the mist in the high altitude gives them the eerie appearance. As a community they have shared precious resources and survived. Hopefully they can continue to do so. Images taken at Fanal Pond, Madeira, Portugal.
