 Visited the spookiest forest today and got caught in a freezing cold wind storm, but it was worth it for the pictures 💨 https://image.nostr.build/b8e3527516a8b6c8f72f0e4eb6a435e04c4020f21f15c09bb1fee7de79f1bda2.jpg https://image.nostr.build/1691ed1b2b51405543efff915b619df0e53b7f4b627bf1af61208afd77ea64ba.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b158318dfd736e376e69d11b022dfc492c2c67adf0eed5d7ce635d4d147d4cc9.jpg

 Someone on Twitter said they look like ents and I had to Google it 😅🙈 

I have watched LOTR though! And I 100% agree

 That first tree looks like a Dr. Seuss character.

 OK so these are called Ocotea foetens, and are a paleoendemic species to Madeira and Canary islands. Very interesting species and I'm currently obsessed with their ecology. Very special place.
