This forest looks surreal...looks straight out of a movie

I want a video game with beautiful sceneries like this.

I suspected that this was a regional thing.

When you cut through a knot while turning a log into lumber, the resulting mark is sometimes called an eye. I've never heard it applied to a live tree though.

In many countries knots are also known as eyes, but usually after they're cut into lumber.

Might as well call it a lawn, they're both lifeless places.

have fun down there, it’s absolutely amazing!!

This is called a woodland.

Alright good to know, thanks for the info!

if you have the option to get a personal vehicle, i’d recommend an AWD or 4x4 vehicle if possible since a marjory of the roads within the national park are gravel and in times of rain, the extra traction would be helpful.

if you plan on taking a bus in and hiking, popular spots are kinda far to be walking so i’d recommend some kind of transportation.

It really looks amazing, would you say you need a car to travel around down there?

Looks like stump with moss growing on it

No, Dark was filmed an hour away from Berlin - in NE. germany

The town portrayed in the show also doesn’t exist, there is no big influence of Northern or Bavarian Germany - this was done on purpose

TDP really is a special place

I agree

The UAE illegally stole the island and have no right to be there.

By plane :) I flew from Abu Dhabi, everything was organised by "Photopills" and "Welcome to Socotra" Together with other photographers we camped for 7 nights :) "Living" on the island felt totally save, there were no guns around and all the Socotri were really helpfull and welcoming.

I agree, Socotra now belongs to the UAE, they are really pushing the tourism as of lately. I also drove past the military base, it's really small, a few houses next to the beach in a deserted area. The biggest harm to the environment are the countless goats on the island but for most people there they are the only food source.

I’m guessing OP meant the knots on the trees? They kinda look like eyes if you don’t look hard enough
