Description The Aos Sidhe (pronounced "ess shee"), are a powerful, supernatural race comparable to the fairies or elves of other traditions.
They live in an invisible world that coexists with the world of humans.
The Gaelic Otherworld is seen as being closer at the times of dusk and dawn, therefore this is seen as a time special to the Aos Sidhe, as are some of the festivals such as Samhain and Midsummer. The Aos Sidhe are generally described as stunningly beautiful, though they can also be terrible and hideous.


I cursed myself for walking too deep into the forest and missing seeing the sunset from the view point high on the hillside like i intended, but the evening rays brought colour to the forest like I wouldnt have imagined.
The forest is very much still in green, but the backlighting from the sunset has given such warmth to the leaves.

As it was so late in the day, this is a 1 second exposure.

all feedback is so highly appreciate

edit: really didn't want to do this but I've had to shrink this one aswell, its either this or plaster it with visable watermarks!

These colors in here are exaggerated in a very nice and dreamy way. Looks almost like a painting, I like it a lot!

This is an amazing photo and obviously someone else thought so too, as it appears on [link]. Wasn’t sure if you were aware of this because this person has used and credited one of my works to himself. If you didn’t give him permission to use this photo, then I recommend reporting him to facebook(should be pretty easy to do in the help section), as he seems to be using many works without permission. I don't recommend emailing him because I and many others have gone this route with him, and he was very rude. He did however remove our works only to replace them with someone else's uncredited work. Best wishes and best of luck.

Wow, this is so beautiful. The colors are just stunning, it almost looks like a rainbow's kind of been laid over the picture, you know? That's what I first thought when I saw this. Amazing!

OddFacade [2010-05-23 06:16:01 +0000 UTC]

Amazing capture of colors! We all know that common dirt is brown under ordinary conditions. It's cool that you've captured it in such a way that its color is affected by golden leaves on the right, blue leaves in the background on the left, and hey, even caught the same substance with a red hue on the bottom-right! If I ever wore a hat, I'd take it off to you. :3

SidhePrankster [2010-05-21 16:58:29 +0000 UTC]

This really is ethereal! It reminds me of myths that claim the Otherworld has "Quick Paths" and "Slow Paths" so that sometimes two times or season can appear side-by-side. The Sidhe-- and their conterparts in other cultures-- are said to sometimes use these paths-- especially the Quick Paths-- for Otherworldly travel. (Humans are warned to shun such paths. If they don't, they will either return to their own world old and grey after only moments have past, or they will return long after their family and friends are dead, but will be unchanged and will think they've been gone only minutes.)

...But I digress. Any way, the photo is incredible! It's absolutely beautiful-- like being in a dream world! You have a great eye for photography!

RebeliousStars [2009-11-24 05:09:22 +0000 UTC]

Wow.

This shot has a sort of half and half value to it, the right looking warm and vibrant, while the left is a cool and calm atmosphere. It gives the feel of a path that you don't know where it may lead, but both ideas seem pretty good.
