I took this photo in the Fanal forest in Madeira. The forest is also called the fairy forest or the fog forest. When there is a sea breeze, clouds will be pushed into the forest, which is in the mountains, creating a ghostly forest of fog. During my walk, this overhanging branch caught my eye. Sad, hanging in the fog, the dewdrops dangling from the moss that took over the branch. And suddenly there I saw a leaf standing cheerfully upright. The contrast with the sadness around it intrigued me. I took the picture and immediately saw the illusion of a reflection on my screen.
This photo continues to intrigue me. Not only because of the leaves and moss you see, but also because of the high contrast with the misty background. This photo takes me back to the forest, the beautiful foggy forest in which you seem to get lost every time. A little curiosity flares up. Will I ever be able to find this image again in real life?
