The path is narrow and winding, and it leads through a dense forest of trees. The sun is shining through the trees, creating a dappled effect on the ground. The overall mood of the image is peaceful and serene.](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-08/captura_de_pantalla_2023-08-11_a_las_10.18.26.png?itok=6qG_Tp__)
