A tall tree in a dense, temperate rainforest, its thick trunk and sprawling branches covered in bright green moss. The moss hangs in long, shaggy layers, giving the tree a draped, almost otherworldly appearance. Surrounding the tree are other mossy trunks and lush green undergrowth, creating a damp, shaded forest scene.
