My travelling companion for the day and I both awarded this glorious tree first prize: of all the many beautiful red-clad trees we saw this day, this one was simply awesome, in the true meaning of that word, as it popped out at us as we rounded a corner on the Mull River Road. I stopped the car and we both gazed at it in silence for a couple minutes, so great was its ravishing beauty. Then, I got out and took this picture.
Alas, I should have backed off a bit, as my position is not quite right to have captured the entire tree, but its glory still comes through in spite of my sloppy framing.
