In April 2024, I headed to Madeira with three keen photographers. Fanal forest was definitely on my itinerary.
On the first visit, there was some mist among the trees, but not enough for the photos we had in mind. We took advantage of that moment to explore the forest so that later when the fog was sufficient, we would find our way around. After this first visit, five more followed, each time with insufficient conditions.
Only on the seventh visit did we have good conditions. This photo was taken then. Unfortunately, the fog was soon gone again. On the eighth visit, the fog was substandard again. Meanwhile, our stay there in Madeira was nearing its end. We were getting a bit desperate but kept believing in it. And yes, on the ninth visit, we were able to go full steam ahead! Thanks to the weather gods!
