The end of the Celtic year, the end of October is approaching and the border between this world and the otherworld is becoming thin allowing spirits to pass through.
Shot taken on November 23rd 2012 while wandering during the night in the Col du Mont-Cenis area (2.083 m), France.
This is the road which links Italy with France on the alpine pass.
On that day it was already closed because of some snow/ice. This was a clear trait, and considering that during my explorations I definitey have nothing to do with paved roads (just tracks, rocks, paths, whatever) this time I've thought to take advantage of this unusual presence :-)
Although the sun had gone down since a while, I had already noticed from previous shots that thanks to long exposures the sky above the distant city of Susa was producing a lovely orange hue because of light pollution.
So, walking, I've paid attention to find out a convenient spot where to align the road with this remote source of light.
Having this shot a symbolic purpose "afterlife" I've then deliberately studied a composition with the camera properly tilted on the tripod.
I've seen all the science fiction movies and generally the moment of transition between different dimensions is always represented with some sort of motion and/or considerable inclination of the camera, I guess in order to symbolize the dynamics of the passage itself and that what is "beyond" not necessarily is in accordance with the way we do perceive reality, geometries, here... in this dimension.

This is my first time to be the Thor's well, I'm lucky that the tide height and sunset matches perfect.

“At the edge of our world, at the edge of the otherworld, the beautiful and mysterious faeries stand, watching and waiting to greet us, inviting us to journey with them as our guides while we walk the infinite paths..." (Brian Froud)

I was actually planning on creating a totally different image for this week, but loved this as soon as I shot it. It reminded me of what direction I was wanting to take my photography, I had this idea a couple of years ago, of creating characters that lived in this lost in between place. A world that changes you, if only you can survive it. That's where most of my characters live, but you normally only see the dark effect and not the beginning. This character has yielded to this dark place; and with one fingertip, she has surrendered herself completely.

I would like to apologize to all who have marked me as a contact lately. I only now saw that the contact notifications are under a separate part in Flickr Mail and so did not see them at all. I will go through them and mark you back as soon as I can. Again, sorry, I did not mean to ignore anybody!
Gyorsan elnézést kérek azoktól, akik bejelöltek ismerősnek - csak most vettem észre, hogy ezek az értesítések külön fül alatt jelennek meg a levelesládámban és azért nem láttam őket eddig. Mindenkit vissza fogok jelölni, ahogy időm nyílik rá. Még egyszer bocs, senkit nem akartam semmibe venni :)

Finally, an upload! Happy very late new year to you all and (even later I know) I hope you all had a lovely Christmas :)
This is the first of a new series I'm planning all based around this mirror (which I got at a bargain price of £15) so I'm really excited to plan the rest of the shots! I might also upload a before/after of this to my Facebook page :)
A volte certi caratteri ci fanno tornare con la memori a tempi decisamente cupi della nostra storia passata.

Sometimes certain characters make us go back to the decidedly dark times of our past history.
Fading light illuminates the stately and stoic hodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park. I used the cliffs to frame the image.

Playing on the forest floor.
Drifting of to dream some more.
Green surrounds the senses and opens a door.
Day dreaming of a topsy turvey forest core.
Sunlight light and shadows dance and soar.
Playing on the forest floor.
Taken from the first visit here. On the second visit the door behind me has what looks like dog poo on the floor which is in fact barn owl pellets and we also saw a rather large bat. Seems like this place is still in use :)
Visited with Mars Lander and a second look with climbing the walls rob biek and the Thrashers :)
Night boulevard, streetlights
stand like shimmering
beacons to the otherworld:
a girl crossing beaded with rain;
wind carries her words to those
long gone, shadows now
across the road on the warehouse
wall, graffiti left by an aerosol artist
and she, alone, pauses, midstream
as traffic rushes past, conversing
with some invisible companion
and when she turns our way and
sees us watching, startled by what
we know not and do not see, her
gaze goes through us, a beam
of darkness, her eyes unfocused
on this world, turning away now,
following a call farther down
the road, a shrill cry beyond
this moment where others wait.

And thank you to VeraJane Vickers for this song by Ed Sheeran which does capture the sentiment behind the poem/image: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAWcs5H-qgQ
