I first noticed this because of the interesting cloud formation — it went on like that for miles.

A few days ago I was out hiking late in the afternoon. Heading back to my car as the sun was going down, I passed this bare oak tree. When I looked up, I was struck by the silhouette of its crooked branches against the darkening sky.

Funny how a casual glance up on the way home, can turn into the best sight of the afternoon.
