Fall Foliage Saved My Life

It's hard to enjoy a 7 hour car ride home from school, especially when your brain is fried from exams earlier that day. However, I found that when you have sights like these, especially with the setting sun casting a warm glow off the mountains of golden leaves, it makes the endless drive much easier. If not for the beautiful fall foliage, which kept me on the edge of my seat in search of great photo opportunities, I may very well have fallen asleep at the wheel. Of course I'm kidding, but it was approximately 100 times more enjoyable.
