I have wanted to visit this beech wood for a long time, but the trip somehow always seemed to get postponed. Now, after a brief visit, I can see what has attracted so many others and will go back there again and again. The forest is unique; it grew over the lava flow from the Croscat volcano and is dotted with small hills of variable sizes, known locally as “tossols.” The high temperature lava flowed over a wetland, evaporating all moisture upon contact. The steam entered the lava, distorting and eventually cracking the partially solidified crust. The result is the varying bulges on the landscape we can see, covered with fragments of basalt.

The night before I took this photograph, a thin snowfall covered the ground. I decided to visit a nearby forest and look for good photo opportunities. However, with the first morning light, the snow began to melt very quickly. It did provide me with the unique opportunity to capture this image, where it appears to by raining on a sunny day.Do you like this photo? Get Your Print or Download it as a wallpaper.
During my last visit to Jordan’s Beech Wood (Fajeda d’en Jorda), I decided to avoid the main routes and started walking on the smallest paths I could find. The forest didn’t change much, but it gave me the opportunity to find new and interesting spots, like the one in this photograph. I don’t know if it’s a treasure under the trees, but having the opportunity to walk around this forest is a reward by of its own. Do you like this photo? Get Your Print or Download it as a wallpaper.
