a magical Azores forest luring you in

A Japanese Cypress forest on the Azores island of Faial with its unique colours and alluring smells. There are only very few places outside of Japan and China, were Japanese Cypress has been cultivated and the Azores are one of such places. The forest lies near to the crater of an extinct volcano and an excursion along those parts is of incredible appeal. I posted this today since I thought it to be the most amazing contrast to the previous forest in Norway, which was also shot on a December day another year. To see the difference of seasons with both places being in the Atlantic was quite interesting.
