At the time of my visit, the weather conditions were very atmospheric. There wasn't as much snow as I expected, but the cold mist turned the area into an enchanted forest. The image shows a remainder of a spruce forest, most of which was destroyed or damaged by a natural disaster in 2004 in which a hurricane swept away one third of the forest covering the lower slopes of the mountains. Mist, fog and cloud inversion created an eerie atmosphere all around. I spent a week discovering this beautiful area and came across this view on one of many walks, when all the right conditions came together and created this amazing atmosphere.
