Autumn on Strange Highway

Peter Anthony requested a higher-resolution copy of this photo. Since that version's both cropped and processed (saturation pushed slightly; light unsharp masking applied), I've decided to upload the original, unedited photo for his convenience. (I see my comments say I darkened it a bit, too.)

This is my most popular photo, judging by reuse requests (as opposed to views or comments or favorites or "interestingness", though it also ranks high in all of thosel). Like many other flickrers, I'm occasionally surprised by what becomes popular.

Not to say I don't like the photo. But it is the very definition of a snapshot: I stopped the car in mid-road, opened the window, pointed the (point & shoot) camera, and pressed the shutter release.

Anyway, Peter, here's the original. Go for it. Looking forward to reading the book.
