Every so often in early evening in the fall, the sun dips low and shines through the clouds with a brilliant orange light. This illuminates the leaves with enhanced color rather like some of the photo apps that intensify the subject, but no artificial enhancement was used in this sketch. That's what's happening here, on the same day as today. The church steeple you see here is really white. The location depicted here is in McLean, Virginia, one of the most affluent in our whole country, and they build with good taste.
