Compose a short description of a gloomy forest in the wilderness with pines and exposed roots.

A dying tree juts from of the ground at an odd angle, its top caught in the branches of the surrounding pines. The tree's exposed roots hang halfway off the side of the nearby cliff, putting it in a somewhat precarious position as it clings to the surrounding trees. Mounds of browning pine needles from the fallen tree litter the forest floor, choking the already sparse foliage.
