EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a true marvel of nature - a very old cork-tree that dates all the way back to 1795. Located in Aguas de Moura, Portugal, this magnificent tree has been providing an incredible resource for centuries. The cork harvested from this ancient giant is used to create an astonishing 100,000 stopples for wine bottles. Standing tall and proud in the picturesque region of Alentejo in Southern Europe, this Quercus suber (cork oak) represents the rich heritage and natural beauty of Portugal. Its gnarled branches reach towards the sky, displaying its resilience and longevity. Photographer Mauricio Abreu expertly captures the essence of this remarkable tree with his lens. The image transports us to a serene moment amidst nature's grandeur. The warm sunlight filters through the leaves, casting enchanting shadows on the ground below. As we admire this awe-inspiring photograph, we are reminded of how interconnected humans are with their environment. Cork production not only sustains local economies but also plays a vital role in preserving our planet's biodiversity by supporting sustainable practices. Let this image serve as a reminder of both nature's enduring wonders and our responsibility to protect them for future generations to enjoy.
