We were driving a South Texas highway through the country near sunset when we passed this tree at 75 miles an hour. I only saw it for a moment, but audibly gasped at the beauty of it. We literally turned around and went back so I could make this photo. What we found when we stopped was this bare tree reflecting in a stock pond. The sunset light behind it was a brilliant orange with a slow gradient rising up to the purple and blues overhead of the coming night.
