More Damn Pictures of Trees

With the autumn sun low in the sky, it can give a Maxfield Parrish-like glow to things, especially when setting. I've noticed this many times over the years. And I've tried many times to capture that peculiar light on film and, more recently, digitally. I've always failed.

Earlier today I saw that glow again on some trees in East Park, aka Gateway Technical College campus. I took 19 shots, but none of them do justice to the light and color display. Here are three of the better ones:
