Golden Hour in the Garden of Ireland

Wicklow is known as the Garden of Ireland and I think this photo as the sun is saying it's goodbye at the end of the day shows that perfectly.

The dark tree silhouettes you see standing alone or in the hedgerows are likely Hawthorns. In Irish folklore, lone Hawthorn trees are often called "Fairy Trees." It was believed that these trees were meeting places for the Aos Sí (fairy folk), and farmers would traditionally leave them untouched in the middle of fields for fear of bringing bad luck upon themselves if they cut them down.
