Orange Glow

Today as I was driving to work, I came across a late autumn orange glow. I was about to turn onto a street that ran on the foot of a hill, so in front of me was just a bare slope of leafless trees. Though that probably conjures up a cold winter image in your mind, imagine the scene bathed entirely in a salmon colored light. The sun, low on the horizon behind me, lit up the trees and the leaf strewn ground below them, creating, if just for a minute, serenity among the wild. It was the kind of scene that makes you stop for a minute before moving along to the highways that beckon.
